Excerpt from Authenticity and Sources of the "Origo Gentis Romanae": A Dissertation
Although the view of Mommsen was generally accepted, there were some who not only contended for the worth of the book, but also were so convinced of its value and the excellence of its style that they wished to assign it to Verrins Flacons. The abrupt transitions, which are frequently to be found in it, they explained, as did Mommsen, by assuming that the present Origo is an epitome of a greater one now lost.
All these scholars approached the question from the stand point of the contents of the different stories and of their agree ment with similar accounts preserved by other authors. But J. W. Beck,' thinking that little was to be determined with certainty from an investigation of sources, pursued another course to fix the date of the composition of the book. He made an examination of its Latinity. From a study of the use of words and phrases he concluded that the Origo was composed at some time after Apuleius and before Jerome's Latin version of the Chronicon of Eusebius.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the legendary origins of the Roman people as depicted in the ancient text known as the Origo Gentis Romanae. The Origo traces the city's folklore back through the generations of its heroes, from the founders Romulus and Remus to the legendary Trojan refugee Aeneas, and all the way back to the gods Saturn and Janus. By juxtaposing the Origo with other classical texts, including the works of Virgil, Cicero, Tacitus, and Livy, the author demonstrates that the stories in the Origo rely heavily on the writings of the Roman antiquarian Varro from the 1st century BC. The author argues that the Origo is much more than a mere retelling of old wives' tales, but rather a sophisticated attempt to understand the significance of the Roman past in the social and political climate of the third century AD. The work sheds new light on the complex relationship between myth, historiography, and politics in the ancient world, and it will be of interest to anyone interested in the origins of Rome, classical mythology, or the history of historiography. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
