In the poem, Prudentius is on his way to Rome when he discovers the tomb of St. Cassian, and an account of the saint’s passion follows. The framing narrative employs some of the conventions of pilgrimage literature, while the poem as a whole contains allusions to Vergil’s Aeneid, and I argue that through these allusions Prudentius models his journey to Rome on the travels of Aeneas. This can be seen as part of Prudentius’ larger project to map Christian sites of interest onto the Roman empire.Item Claudian, De Raptu Proserpinae 1.82 and Georgics 3.68(2014-12) O'Hogan, CillianIdentification & analysis of an imitation of Virgil's Georgics in Claudian, De Raptu ProserpinaeItem Thirty Years of the ‘Jeweled Style’(Cambridge University Press, 2019-08) O'Hogan, Cillian
