Resumo
In his fourth Eclogue Virgil congratulates Pollio, Consul in the year 40 BC, on the birth of his son, in the midst of the modern times Rome is experiencing. Virgil does so in such lofty terms that the Middle Ages read the passage as a prophecy of Christ. The poet turns the decadence of the age on its head and announces his hopes for a new and better time, ushered in for the benefit of the new–born infant: incrementum. This term, in its expressive grandeur, does not depart from common language, and in fact influences it, as witnessed by popular Romance–language derivates, such as the Galician encrentiño, ‘little child’. This passage, moreover, can be pertinent in the study of Consular and Hispanic chronologies.
