Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Pennsylvania, 2007.

This dissertation studies a small collection of Latin literary texts and cultural institutions specific to the city of Praeneste, now called Palestrina. The time frame covers mostly the Roman Republic, with a final chapter on the Augustan calendar at Praeneste. The purpose of such a study is to present a different perspective on a limited number of Latin literary traditions and institutions than the one that has been predominant in modern scholarship. First, I will consider Roman literary history from the perspective of an important cultural center other than Rome itself, namely Praeneste. A collection of texts from the archaic period to the Augustan Principate specific to Praeneste allows us to study Latin and Latin culture at this city. No study, however, has studied these texts and artifacts in tandem. Second, I will recover a Praenestine perspective by drawing largely (though not exclusively) on the material cultural record. Again, Praeneste has a rich material record, especially during the Republic. Yet the monuments, ranging from the archaic period to the early Imperial era, have only been examined as separate entities. The result of this study will be not to overturn received wisdom about the history of Roman literature, but to present a too-familiar story from a fresh and unfamiliar perspective. I contribute new details to our understanding of how Romans imagined their literary history and raise questions that may be answered by further research of this type.Subjects--Topical Terms:
