Virgilian centos are literary 'school products', therefore it is high probable that the portions of verses reused in them reflect more closely the text of Virgil circulating in the schools and attested by the papyrus finds than that of the codices Vergiliani antiquiores, made to adorn the plutei of the libraries of aristocratic families rather than to be used in the classrooms of grammarians. Some examples are provided.

Abstract
Virgilian centos are literary 'school products', therefore it is high probable that the portions of verses reused in them reflect more closely the text of Virgil circulating in the schools and attested by the papyrus finds than that of the codices Vergiliani antiquiores, made to adorn the plutei of the libraries of aristocratic families rather than to be used in the classrooms of grammarians. Some examples are provided.File in questo prodotto:
