^{page 322 note 2} Clark, Clifford P., Numerical Phraseology in Vergil, diss. Princeton, 1913. Clark did not discuss the historical aspect of the 3, 30, 300 series, and wrongly thought that 30o years was established as the duration of Alba. Only Virgil and Justin (see p. 323) have this num ber of years.Google Scholar

^{page 323 note 1} This, however, conflicts with 5. 626 ff., on which see below, and the line total does not tally with septima here.

^{page 323 note 2} Plato, , Rep. 546, deals with 3 x 4 x 5 = 60 and its square 3600, and the Pythagoreans were interested in such multiples.Google Scholar

^{page 323 note 4} This rather than the battle of Actium (as Sordi, see next note) is the culminating point, 8. 714 ff. Actium is on its own in the centre of the shield, with the rest grouped round.

^{page 324 note 5} The alternative suggestion of thirty Latin colonies would apply rather to Alba.

^{page 324 note 6} Knight, W. F. Jackson, in his careful translation, gives for this passage ‘near the sea shore’; but Tiberinus is presumably speaking of his own river banks in the phrase litoreis …sub ilicibus (8. 43, cf. his oris 51). If litus can be used of a river bank, presumably litoreus can too, though there may be no parallel.Google Scholar

^{page 325 note 3} Perhaps another line was intended to take the place of the existing I.46 (see above).

^{page 326 note 1} The usually given recípient is Jupiter Feretrius. The deified Romulus, who in his lifetime was the legendary first winner of spolia opima, reminds us of his victory, which Virgil regards as starting an epoch (see above).
