We commemorate today the sad anniversary of Virgil’s death. A good opportunity perhaps to revisit his famous epitaph:
Mantua me genuit, Calabri rapuere, tenet nunc
Parthenope. Cecini pascua, rura, duces.
Let us also have on this day a thought for Tibullus, who followed him into the grave (or rather to the Elysian Fields) at about the same time. Do you believe in coincidences?
