Where it came from
Published by Yale University Press in 2000, this volume serves as a scholarly analysis of Horace’s 'Carmen Saeculare,' a poem commissioned by Augustus in 17 BCE to mark the Ludi Saeculares. Michael C. J. Putnam, a renowned classicist, examines the intersection of Roman political ideology and poetic structure, situating the work within the transition of the Roman state from Republic to Empire.
Putnam’s design for the commentary focuses on a rigorous close reading of the text, aiming to illuminate how Horace utilized the constraints of lyric form to honor the religious and civic renewal intended by the emperor. The book is recognized within academic circles for its meticulous philological approach, providing students and scholars with a detailed resource for understanding the nuances of Augustan-era Latin literature.
