^{page 162 note 9} Hirschfeld, Kleine Schriften (Das Neujahr des tribunischen Kaiserjakres), pp. 438 ff. The vital point is that Domitian, who celebrated his games in A.D. 88, followed the computation of Augustus (Suetonius, Domitian, ch. 4): this points to 23 or 22, not 17 B.C., as the true year.

^{page 163 note 1} Is it possible that there is some connexion between the famous ‘Golden Bough’ of the Sixth Aeneid and the boughs carried by the boys and girls in the processional chorus to Apollo and Diana? Cp. the sestertius of Domitian, Mattingly and Sydenham, Roman Imperial Coinage II., p. 201, no. 379. Servius (Aeneid VI., vv. 136 ff.) is not necessarily talking nonsense when he associates the bough with Aricia and the bough plucked by the rex nemorensis: Cumae and Aricia were intimately related from early times.

^{page 164 note 5} This hypothesis at least faces the difficulties of the poem and would explain some phrases which, in 40 B.C., are surprisingly prophetic— ‘tuus iam regnat Apollo’ (v. 10), ‘pacatumque reget patriis virtutibus orbem’ (v. 17). Cp. a note in C.R., 1930, pp. 57 ff.

If the poem was written originally for a child of Octavian and Scribonia—who turned out to be Julia—the dedication to the Antonian Pollio is unintelligible. If the child was simply a child of Pollio himself, could Virgil have failed to say so? The reference to the Treaty of Brundisium and the marriage of Antony and Octavia that sealed it seems inescapable.
