Abstract

The text, although not devoid of a certain originality, seems to draw upon a rich repertoire of poetic references, which ranges from Lucretius, to Virgil, Horace, and Ovid: it tells the appearance of a deceased young man, now risen among the gods, to his relative. Non ego Tartareas penetrabo tristis ad undas, 20 non Acheronteis transvehar umbra vadis, non ego caeruleam remo pulsabo carinam nec te terribilem fronte timebo, Charon, nec Minos mihi iura dabit grandaevus et atris non errabo locis nec cohibebor aquis. 25 Surge, refer matri ne me noctesque diesque defleat ut maerens Attica mater Ityn. Nam me sancta Venus sedes non nosse silentum iussit et in caeli lucida templa tulit. Questi doni sono piu grandi di corone e unguenti: né il tempo vorace, né [-] li portano via. 2.COMMENTO EPIGRAFICO L'iscrizione, di carattere funerario, fu dedicata da Sex(tus) Onussianus Com[-] alla memoria del suo parente M(arcus) Lucceius Nepos.
