Chapter Five. The Heroes
Chapter One. Introduction
Chapter Two. The Greek Background
Norden's claim for the utter Romanness of Virgil's Heldenschau referred to in the Introduction calls for a short survey of the likely Greek antecedents or sources of inspiration of Augustus' Hall of Fame. Since selections of the best poets, philosophers etc. - the so-called canons, to be discussed anon - are a central feature of Greek paideia, it was no doubt the choice of heroes exclusively from the political-military sphere that lay at the root…
Chapter Seven. The Impact Of The Gallery Of Heroes
While a great deal of attention has been devoted to the Forum of Augustus, there has been no corresponding attempt to estimate its actual impression, the success of the Princeps' scheme. This chapter focuses on the impact of Augustus' Gallery of Heroes. Ovid's description, put into the mouth of Mars, must reflect, to some extent at least, the response of the poet himself. In fact, it is of some interest that, when Ovid recalls the Forum from dist…
Chapter Four. A Marble Gallery For A City Of Marble
When, and how, did the idea of a Gallery of Heroes in his Forum first occur to Augustus? This, of course, is just a part of the question of the origins of the Forum. Even before discussing the issue it will be instructive to observe that there exist remarkable parallels between the Forum Augustum with the Temple of Mars Ultor, and the Forum Iulium of Julius Caesar, completed by Augustus, with the Temple of Venus Genetrix, and thus a short reminde…
Chapter Six. After Augustus
Augustus made provisions for adding bronze statues to the marble galleries of his Forum, though it is not absolutely clear whether they were to be added immediately upon the opening of the Forum in 2BCE or rather, more realistically, only after his decease. In addition to a number of general statements about widespread gifts of triumphal ornaments, we are in possession of some two dozen or so specific instances from Tiberius to Trajan, no doubt f…

Chapter Three. The Roman Background
The direct influences that can be traced were Roman, and it was these that in all likelihood absorbed ingredients from some of these Greek forerunners. When Augustus completed his plans he had before his eyes both a phenomenon which he must have regarded as self-evident, namely the wealth of statuary and portraiture displayed in the city and elsewhere in Italy, in public places and in the houses of the nobility, and also what was largely an innov…
