Resumen

In this paper, we offer a detailed analysis of the use of the word “Manes” in the Aeneid. We make a comparison between the different meanings of the word in the previous republican sources, with particular focus on the conceptual innovations introduced by Vergil. We also refer to some epigraphical documents, in order to contextualize the cult of the Manes in the age of Augustus.
