摘要

摘要：玛格丽塔的墓志铭（CIL 6.29896）由六幅拉丁文挽歌式对联组成，刻在一块纪念家犬的小大理石牌匾上。它是在罗马发现的，可能制作于公元二世纪。在本文中，我研究了它与奥古斯都挽歌和人类诗歌墓志铭的典故，认为它幽默地将色情和文学语言应用于狗身上。然后，我考虑了玛格丽塔作为高卢舶来品的身份，认为这篇墓志铭符合奥古斯都挽歌中利用外国奢侈品将罗马帝国主义情色化和自然化的大趋势。

A Learned Dog: Roman Elegy and the Epitaph for Margarita

Abstract: The epitaph for Margarita ( CIL 6.29896) consists of six elegiac couplets in Latin engraved on a small marble plaque in commemoration of a domestic dog. It was discovered in Rome and likely made in the second century CE. In this paper I examine its allusions to Augustan elegy and verse epitaphs for humans, arguing that it humorously applies eroticizing and literary language to a dog. I then consider Margarita’s status as an import from Gaul, arguing that the epitaph fits into a broader tendency of Augustan elegy to use foreign luxuries to eroticize and naturalize Roman imperialism.
