 Publius Vergilius Maro. Leven en werken
De vader van Vergilius was (weer volgens de antieke biografen) van eenvoudige afkomst: een "pottenbakker" zeggen de enen, de anderen noemen hem een "mercennarius", een betaalde kracht, in dienst van de Magius die later zijn schoonvader zou worden.
Vergilius verloor toen zijn eigendom: de ager van Cremona was niet groot genoeg, en hij moest samen met vele Mantuanen zijn grond afstaan: Mantua miserae nimium vicina Cremonae.
Vergilius vond een nieuwe patronus: de Etrusk Cilnius Maecenas, de rechterhand van Octavianus die te Rome de onbetwiste meester was.

Bij een bezoek aan Megara werd hij ziek en enkele dagen na zijn aankomst in Brindisium stierf hij daar op 21 september van het jaar 19 v Chr, na de wens geuit te hebben dat het handschrift van zijn onafgewerkt epos verbrand zou worden.
Augustus ging hier niet op in en gaf Vergilius' vrienden Varius en Tucca opdracht het werk uit te geven en het wordt algemeen als het meesterwerk der Latijnse literatuur erkend.
Vergilius had zo'n innemend karakter dat Horatius hem 'de helft van zichzelf' noemt [Hor.Carm.I,3,8: 'animae dimidium meae'].

 Virgil / Vergil
The greatest Roman poet, called by Tennyson "wielder of the stateliest measure ever moulded by the lips of man." Virgil is known for his epic, the AENEID (written about 29 B.C.E., unfinished), which had taken as its literary model Homer's epic poems Iliad and Odyssey.
Virgil was no Roman but a Gaul - the village was situated in what was then called Gallia Cisalpina - Gaul this side of the Alps.
Publius Vergilius Maro, or Virgil, grew up to be hailed as the greatest Roman poet.

It is written in an elegant hand, comprising 309 folios of 333x332 mm in size, and contains 19 color illumination in a Late Antique style, which I have displayed at this page.
If the Vergilius Romanus was indeed produced in Britain, which we will look in to below, it may have reached Gaul as a gift or with travelling migrants to Brittany.
Though there are powerful images of what people actually looked like in his lifetime, I think it would be pushing the evidence too far to assume that he was depicted himself.

 The Miraculous Birth of Vergilius
Vergilius was born in Andes, a pagus (village) a little south of Mantua, the capitol of New Etruria, in Gallia Cisalpina (Transpadana) north of the River Po.
So the magician Vergilius was born of Maius and Maia as Mercurius had been born of Maius (Jove) and Maia (the Goddess), and the Magus and Magia (Stimichon and Maia) saw to his education as Lucretius had directed.
Magus and Magia named Publius Vergilius Maro in this way: "Publius" from his devotion to the state (a publica re) and "Puplius" from his large knee (a poplite grandi), for he was sturdy even as a child.

 The Bones of Vergilius
Because of his defeats, King Roger realized that Neapolis had supernatural protection, and that its source was the hidden Bones of Vergilius, the city's patron.
Although Ludowicus protested that he wanted the bones for only 40 days, and that he hoped that by means of them the whole of Vergilius' Magic would be revealed, his request was denied, and in the end he was granted only the book.
We know that this place is the authentic Shrine of Divine Vergilius, for at the end of the sixteenth century the Bishop of Ariano still had ancient documents to prove it.

 Thelemapedia: The Encyclopedia of Thelema & Magick | Virgil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Publius Vergilius Maro, October 15, 70–19 BCE, known in English as Virgil or Vergil, Latin poet, is the author of the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid, this last being a narrative poem in twelve books that is deservingly called the Roman Empire's national epic.
Born in the village of Andes (modern Pietole?), near Mantua in Cisalpine Gaul (Gaul "this side", i.e., south of the Alps, present northern Italy), Virgil received his earliest schooling at Cremona and Milan.
In the Middle Ages "Vergilius" was bastardized to "Virgilius" because of a false etymology associated with the word virgo, Latin for "maiden." This arose because in antiquity Virgil, a notorious homosexual, was nicknamed parthenias, the Greek word for maiden.
