prophecy of all the great leaders and founders that were to come build the Roman Empire into what it was during Augustus’ rule. Despite Aeneas’ contribution to not only Roman history but also Roman mythology‚ snippets of The Aeneid easily give the impression of History with an underlying sense of propaganda. Throughout Book 6 of The Aeneid there are many references to Emperor Augustus insinuating that he is their savior and light out of their predicament. Moreover‚ in light of the era this epic was

The Res Gestae does a poor job describing how Augustus came into power in his twenties and does not mention even once Augustus shortcomings or war crimes. The Res Gestae focuses instead on describing and exalting Augustus merits and successes.

Diction From The General History of Virginia by John Smith‚ there is a confusing kind of diction. The words used in this passage is commonly spoken in the 16th century. I think John Smith’s goal was to use colloquial vocabulary. This thought came to mind because back then everyone used those words.

The general setting in the New Testament is the Roman Empire. This is the world that the writings of the New Testament are born in and interact with.
