Mark Antony’s claims in his speech at Julius Caesar’s funeral on the Ides of March are largely factual but very biased. His words are but wind, meant to turn the public against the conspirators who killed tyrant to-be Caesar.

Rome experienced a period of political and social instability when Augustus came into power determined to bring social order, political stability, and most importantly, bring glory to Rome. In Aeneid, the epic poem translated from Latin into modern English by Frederick Ahl, one can see portrayed the legend of a righteous hero, deserving of his destiny as a conqueror and determined to establish a city; a story intended to portray Augustus’ role as a ruler of Rome and to revere the glory of the city.
