Virgil, history, and the Roman tradition

Augustus’ typological recapitulation of the past lends weight to the impact of Virgil’s teleology: he is not merely the telos of Roman history, but embodies its greatest heroes and virtues. At the same time typology modifies the stark outline of a purely teleological presentation of Roman history; the stages in Rome’s undeviating advance are linked by association between the leading figures in that advance. For all its coherence and its importance in the history of ideas, Virgil’s conception of history has mixed, scattered, and often humble origins, in religious attitudes, in the traditions of patriotic oratory, in public representations of Roman family pride. As an interpreter of Roman history he was for his time uniquely intelligent and sophisticated, yet his vision has little if anything in common with orthodox historiography.
