The creation of Augustus’ power is also relied to tools and devices of visual culture. The movement of the young riders performing the Troiae lusus reproduces the path of the labyrinth and the revolution of the dolphins but especially displays history and tradition about Rome’s foundation that now is renewed and reinvented by the gens Iulia. Virgil’s narration of the Troiae lusus – probably reusing a more ancient tradition – provides a narrative pattern able to match the dynastic succession and the mythical and historical tradition regarding Rome’s origin and foundation.

Abstract
The creation of Augustus’ power is also relied to tools and devices of visual culture. The movement of the young riders performing the Troiae lusus reproduces the path of the labyrinth and the revolution of the dolphins but especially displays history and tradition about Rome’s foundation that now is renewed and reinvented by the gens Iulia. Virgil’s narration of the Troiae lusus – probably reusing a more ancient tradition – provides a narrative pattern able to match the dynastic succession and the mythical and historical tradition regarding Rome’s origin and foundation.File in questo prodotto:
