ABOUT THE AUTHOR
"The Aeneid of Virgil is a gateway between the
pagan and the Christian centuries.
Virgil, who was born in 70 BC and died in 19 BC, left the poem
unfinished at his death.
That was eight years after the republican government of old Rome gave
place to the rule of emperors,
and only a few years before the Christian Era started.
Virgil is the Poet of the Gate."
