In the light of the previous bibliography, my textual analysis aims at drawing attention to the interpretation of palliatus, capite operto, suffarcinatus, sportula. The reception of the scene is then examined, through the references to the typical dress of philosophers and the presence of the word suffarcinati in other authors. It is mainly an archaic word of comedy, which has few occurrences after Plautus and Terence. Suffarcinati was probably taken up by Jerome, a passionate reader of Plautus’ plays, and thanks to him the verb was brought back to use in Late Antiquity, by Paulinus of Nola and Augustine.

Moreover, it proposes a re-interpretation of epigr. 3.20 as an elegant literary lusus, written by Martial on the basis of three literary hypotexts (Hor. epist. 1.3 and 8 and Catull. 55). This character of the composition makes it possible to assign a different meaning to Canius Rufuse’s laughter at its end.

It suggests the interpretation of the term eventus in the usual sense of event, rather than adventus, in the light of both lexical occurrences of the term in similar contexts and the hagiographical account, which, of the word garganus, aims to spread a new etymology more suited to the new religious climate.

The investigation aims at a definition of Diomedes’ role both in the antiquarian republican tradition (which Servius and Servius Danielis refer to) and in the Augustan Age. The study focuses especially on the hypothesis of a Varronian source for S and SD, and even for Vergil himself, as deducible from the analysis of the syntagm hostilis facies (Aen. 3, 407). As for the Augustus’era a sort of censure against Diomedes, the carrier of the Palladium to Italy, can be inferred from the Augustan poets’ silence about Diomedes, the study of Dionysus of Halicarnassus’ data and iconographic evidence. An anonymous Vergilian scholium is then examined with reference to traces of a lost poem, the Diomedea, composed by Iullus Antonius under Augustus (the anti-Aeneid?)

Lat. 1625. The ninth century parchment section, probably from St Benoît-sur-Loire, transmits an abridged and fragmentary version of the Virgilian Commentary of Servius auctus ad Aen. V-VI. Although the text was already known to Pierre Daniel, it has been so far neglected by the editors of Servius’s Commentaries. In this study it is examined in its relationship with others of Daniel’s witnesses and it can potentially prove useful for the constitutio textus. The commentary of the Reg. is enriched with further exegetic material to be found in the body itself of the commentary, as well as in the margins and spacings of the text. Among these sources there are: Tiberius Claudius Donatus, the so-called Glossarium Ansileubi and the First Vatican Mythographer.

Related to the context the reading unctaque might be right, and ‘ungere’ might be used with the rare meaning of ‘to polish silver’.

Testi di fondazione, iconografia, culto e tradizioni nei santuari cristiani italiani fra tarda antichità e Medioevo, svoltosi a Bari dal 23 al 25 maggio 2017. La ricerca ha inteso riprendere le indagini sui concetti di sacralità e di spazio/luogo; studiare i santuari quali specifici spazi sacri; consegnare al pubblico di non specialisti una nuova idea di questi luoghi in quanto non solo poli cultuali, ma spazi culturali in senso più ampio.
