Michael C. J. Putnam provides an exhaustive analysis of Horace’s Carmen Saeculare, the seminal hymn commissioned by Augustus for the 17 B.C.E. Ludi Saeculares. By examining the intersection of ritual magic, poetic structure, and political ideology, the author illuminates how Horace transformed a state-mandated performance into a sophisticated meditation on Roman identity and the divine order of the Augustan age.
