excudent alii spirantia mollius aera

( credo equidem), vivos ducent [de marmore] vultus,

orabunt causas melius, caelique meatus

describent [radio] et surgentia sidera dicent: 850

tu regere [imperio] populos, Romane, memento

(hae tibi erunt artes), pacique imponere morem,

parcere subiectis et debellare superbos.”

Why does Anchises

call Aeneas

Romane?

How do you see this as

propaganda, or “words that

Augustus would want”?
