This article analyzes the representational strategies Vergil uses in the description of the shield of Aeneas to shape the reception of his text. Three aspects of the ekphrasis highlight its ambiguous status as a literary representation figuring itself as a material presence that can become part of history as well as depicting it. First, descriptions of rivers frame narrative units within book 8 as though the text were a visual image, while failing to perform such a function in the case of the shield itself. Rivers also symbolize both the linear progression of the narrative and its static visual surface. Second, the presence of multiple levels of internal spectators simultaneously reminds Vergil's audience of the differences between poem and image and image and reality and provides focalizing perspectives from which each represented image can be perceived as real. Finally, intertextual references to defining features of historiography as a literary genre provide a model for how literary accounts of the past can influence events. But the comparison with historiography also draws attention to what Vergil does differently, particularly his direct representation of divine action and his refashioning of history's linear order into a circular, spatial image that can be viewed synchronically.

The identification of biotransformation products of the new choleretic drug epomediol in rat has been performed by means of mass spectral, proton magnetic resonance and infrared techniques. The drug was administered perorally or intravenously; urine, bile and faeces were collected and the metabolites isolated. In urine, three metabolites were found in addition to the unchanged drug, namely; 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-6-hydroxy-7-one, 1,3-dimethyl-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-6,7-hydroxy-10-methanol and 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2.]octan-6-beta-glucuronide-7-ol. In bile only the glucuronide and the unchanged drug were found. Analogously, in faeces the glucuronide and the drug were also identified, but only in trace amounts. This fact may suggest the presence of an enterohepatic circulation of the drug.

Though history had been written at Rome since the third century B.C., the earliest historiographical works in Latin to have been preserved in their entirety are, aside from the Caesarian commentarii, the two monographs of Gaius Sallustius Crispus (86–35 B.C.). Whether or not Cicero’s is a fair description of the now lost histories written before the death of Caesar (above, p. 3), some time in the 40s B.C. Sallust published two short works that were good enough to last. In the Bellum Catilinae (= BC) Sallust narrates the career of the revolutionary Catiline in the years 64–62 B.C.; the Bellum Jugurthinum (= BJ), a work of almost twice the length, explores the intertwined themes of Rome’s war in north Africa against the Numidian leader Jugurtha and the concomitant political upheavals in Rome (118–105 B.C.). A third work, the Historiae, a five-book annalistic history of the period 78–67, was in all likelihood left unfinished at the author’s death and survives only in fragments.
