so the romans were big into propaganda. we read the aeneid for my mythology class, and this is what i wrote for virgil's angle that is not at all subtly inserted into the story:
"Romans are awesome, even before we existed. End of story. Even the gods like us better. We win, you lose, because we rock."
just remember that and you'll be able to interpret any piece of roman art.
