Abstract: | Charles V made extensive use of Augustan and Virgilian imagery to portray his reign as an extension of that of Augustus, including tracing his heritage, via the Roman emperors, to Aeneas (eg, Catálogo real de Castilla; Tanner 1993). This paper will examine the importance of the 12 panel 16th century tapestry series, the Conquest of Tunis (de Vega and Carretero 1986), for the continuation of this theme. These tapestries, regularly hung at court festivals even after Charles V's reign, link together Roman imperial glory and Trojan ancestry through allusions to the Aeneid in their portrayal of Charles V's 1535 conquest of Tunis. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ASCS 40: Australasian Society for Classical Studies 40th Annual Conference and Meeting, Armidale, Australia, 4th - 7th February, 2019 | Source of Publication: | Australasian Society for Classical Studies Annual Conference, p. 67-67 | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 470513 Latin and classical Greek literature 470525 Other European literature |
