The talk will analyze the character of the Roman goddess of war, Bellona, in Statius's Thebaid and Valerius Flaccus's Argonautica as a marker of the Roman cultural past. I will also discuss several contemporary parallels in Flavian-era material culture and Roman religious history.For more information, call 845-758-7283, or e-mail [email protected].
