“…(IV.275-284, trans. Mozley, 1928) The presence of three different kinds of parents is suggestive of different communities of humans (Gower, 2011;Myers, 2005;Newlands, 2004;Schildgen, 2013). And indeed, in the following lines, Statius tells us that although the Arcadians are all one race, they each have their own habits or customs, some on high mountains, some in forests, some in the countryside, some in windy places, some on snow-topped peaks.…”

Although climate change, pollution, and environmental degradation are contemporary problems, these are also challenges with deep historic roots in antiquity. 2,000 years ago, during the Roman Climate Optimum, a period of unusually warm, wet, and stable temperatures in the Mediterranean from roughly 200 BCE to 150 CE, the Romans altered the natural environment so greatly that they produced a level of pollution that was unparalleled until the Industrial Revolution. It is precisely in this contradictory time of unusually productive growth and destruction that we discover a blossoming of textual and visual ecological calendars illustrating how the Romans experienced the changing Mediterranean seasons. Roman agricultural treatises instruct us on specific agricultural tasks based on celestial movement, the arrival of particular winds, and on corporeal sensations, such as the warmth of the soil. Literary texts from the period portray kinship and shared corporeality between farmers and plants, with parent farmers listening to and assisting plant‐children in achieving their desires. The concept of measuring time by means of the human body and its sensations is most explicit in the agricultural mosaics of the Late Roman period, which depict enslaved workers laboring, sweating, stomping, plowing, and performing seasonal tasks. While much of the conceptualization of indigenous ecological calendars is framed within the context of modern states, juxtaposing ancient predecessors and contemporary practices offers a new perspective on this topic.

“…By contrast, both Propertius and Ovid include descriptions of contemporary Augustan buildings in their elegiac poetry, Ovid much more extensively than Propertius. 8 Moreover it is in Ovid's Metamorphoses 4 It is by no means certain, pace Thomas 1983: 97-99, that Callimachus' Victoria Berences, for example, contained a temple description: see Newlands 1991: 442. For Callimachus' interest in temples (not necessarily contemporary) and the artwork adorning them, see Thomas 1983.…”

Stace dans la Thébaïde décrit les ensembles architecturaux, la décoration intérieure et l'emploi de l'espace. Nous établissons d'abord le parallèle entre ces descriptions, le programme architectural contemporain de l'empereur flavien et le cadre architectural retrouvé dans les Métamorphoses d'Ovide (de même que l'accueil que fait ce dernier poème aux projets d'Auguste). Puis nous démontrons le rôle important qu'a joué le poème d'Ovide dans l'accueil littéraire de l'architecture impériale chez Stace. Enfin nous considérons les nombreux points de contact retrouvés dans les registres linguistiques des deux poèmes et leurs importantes répercussions sur l'interprétation thématique et politique des deux textes.
