This paper offers a critical edition with commentary of the Virgilian thema, 24 hexameters contained in the Anthologia Latina, which draws inspiration from Verg. Aen. XII 653: Turne, in te suprema salus. This composition, along with the other two Virgilian remakes contained in the Salmasian book, reflects the scholarly practice of suasoria. Thanks to the rhetorical instruments employed, they give new interpretations of the Virgilian contexts of reference, without which they would be incomprehensible, and may represent exegetical forms alternative to those known by the surviving commentaries.

Abstract
This paper offers a critical edition with commentary of the Virgilian thema, 24 hexameters contained in the Anthologia Latina, which draws inspiration from Verg. Aen. XII 653: Turne, in te suprema salus. This composition, along with the other two Virgilian remakes contained in the Salmasian book, reflects the scholarly practice of suasoria. Thanks to the rhetorical instruments employed, they give new interpretations of the Virgilian contexts of reference, without which they would be incomprehensible, and may represent exegetical forms alternative to those known by the surviving commentaries.File in questo prodotto:
