Dante sought to show that the Roman people had acquired their ‘world empire’ by divine right. By doing so‚ according to Joseph Canning‚ Dante gave “powerful expression to the myth of Rome‚ deploying a mass of republican and imperial examples drawn from Roman history and literature”. Dante reasoned that Rome’s divinely ordained authority was demonstrated by Christ’s birth during the Roman Empire. He claimed that Christ “willed to be born of the Virgin Mary under an edict of the Roman authority”.

In The Inferno‚ Dante descends through the nine circles of Hell‚ encountering increasingly serious sins‚ most of which are crimes.

For the purposes of this paper‚ the two terms can be
