HE ancient biographers and commentators of Virgil agree that the farm on which the poet was born was confiscated along with other Mantuan lands for the benefit of Octavian's veterans but later restored through the efforts of influential friends. Those most prominently mentioned are Asinius Pollio, Alfenus Varus, and Cornelius Gallus, in whose honour, says Donatus, the Bucolics were written. The historical improbability of any joint intervention by this ill-assorted trio' warrants the assumption that the commentators were basing their statements on a superficial interpretation of internal evidence
