A Family of Gods
194 PHOENIX bution to current scholarship on Vergil’s epic. Within the polyphony of scholarly voices on the Aeneid Stahl’s is not only a strong but at times also a thundering one. Shattering the wishful concept of a regime-critical poet time and again, by insisting on a precise and contextual reading of Vergil’s text, he fearlessly (and at times fiercely) takes on the approaches of the Harvard School as well as readings that are informed by, amon…
The Satyrica of Petronius
A comic masterpiece of classical antiquity, the Satyrica (or Satyricon) of Petronius is a tantalizing work of fiction-part poetry, part prose, hilariously vulgar, exquisitely elegant, its original form and length as much a matter of speculation as the identity of its author. Its brilliance and enduring influence are, however, beyond dispute. The romantic misadventures, fabulous feasts, and ribald foibles of Encolplus ("crotch" in Greek) and his c…
Marriage legislation of Augustus
In 18–17 BCE , Augustus, the first Roman emperor, passed several laws regulating social behavior, including two aimed at marriage. The lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus prohibited intermarriage between senatorial families and ex‐slaves, and between all citizens and disreputable persons, such as prostitutes ( see Infamia ).

The two came to be known as the lex Iulia and lex Papia . Together they created asystem of rewards for married persons and parents and penalties for the unwed and childless t…
Master Narratives and the Wall Painting of the House of the Vettii, Pompeii
From the god in the doorway who pulls aside his clothing to weigh his exposed penis against a bag of money on a set of scales, to the reception room scene of a stripped king being torn apart by his crazed female relatives (Figure 7), the paintings in the House of the Vettii have titillated tourists and intrigued scholars since they were first uncovered in Pompeii in the 1890s. What questions about ancient Italian society can we productively bring…
