This article examines the strategies of self-representation employed by the orator Eumenius in his speech For the Restoration of the Schools, delivered at Lyon before a provincial governor in 298. Eumenius had been magister memoriae at the court of Maximian before being appointed professor at the schools of rhetoric in Autun. In the speech, he asked the governor of Lugdunensis Prima to communicate to the emperors his request that his salary be donated to the upkeep of the schools of rhetoric. This article argues that Eumenius only moved from the imperial court to his professorship reluctantly. He therefore used the occasion of the speech to fashion a new public role for himself within Gallic society. In the oration, Eumenius envisioned his previous position of magister memoriae as the emperor's voice, following in the footsteps of previous imperial advisors and tutors who employed similar language to define their position. As professor, he promised to share the benefits of his experience by training future generations of Gallic pupils to serve at the imperial court. This self-portrayal was designed to emphasize Eumenius's success as both an orator and an imperial official, thus consolidating his standing among his Gallic peers, with whom he competed for honors and privileges from the emperors.

Las palabras de Virgilio o de Cristo en los versos de Juvenco, de Proba y de Prudencio: Algunos ejemplos

This paper offers a review of some Christian authors who used Virgil as a pagan model with the purpose of portraying Christ’s life as a classical hero. Our working hypothesis is that Juvencus and Proba made the allusions and references to Aeneas’ heroic qualities to announce the victorious new archetype of Christ as the only example of virtue. This process defined as ‘Virgilisation of Christ’s life’ was fundamental for Prudentius’ poetic task.
