AUSONIO, CENT. NUPT. 101-105: UNA NUEVA PROPUESTA DE LECTURA

Abstract

This paper proposes a new interpretation for the first lines of the well-known Ausonius´ Imminutio scene (Cent. nupt. 101-105), based on two main aspects: the relationship between this passage and other sections of this work, and the links with the corpus Vergilianum, source for the cento. Thus, this new exegesis is not intended to be definitive but rather an interpretive alternative to the pervasive figure of the ambiguity that permeates the whole cento.
