| Summary: | This study is a complement to an earlier contribution on libertas in the works of Prudentius. In Symm. 2, 578-640a P. elaborates what was latently present in Origen and Ambrose: without the linking of pax and Roma Christ could not have come into this world; for P. the pax Romana is not only a practical, but also a spiritual requisite for the coming of Jesus Christ. The greater part of psych. 750-797 is made of Biblical components. P. surprisingly transforms Paul’s praise of love into an ode to peace. P. also gave Symm. 2, 578-640a and psych. 629-803 a personal touch by linking microcosmos and macrocosmos. In both Symm. and in psych. the poet sings the praises of peace, both instances concern the unity of the Christianized Roman world, in both Symm. and psych. P. associates peace among men with peace within men. |
