Whether a man aspires to the prize of Olympia's palm and breed horses, or rears bullocks, strong for the plough, let his chief care be to choose the mould of the dams. The best-formed cow is fierce-looking, her head ugly, her neck thick, and her dewlaps hanging down from chin to legs. Moreover, her long flank has no limit; all points are large, even the feet; and under the crooked horns are shaggy ears. Nor should I dislike one marked with white spots, or impatient of the yoke, at times fierce with the horn, and more like a bull in face; tall throughout, and she steps sweeping her footprints with the tail's tip. The age to bear motherhood and lawful wedlock ends before the tenth year, and begins after the fourth; the rest of their life is neither fit for breeding nor strong for the plough. Meantime, while lusty youth still abides in the herds, let loose the males; be first to send your cattle to mate, and supply stock after stock by breeding. Life's fairest days are ever the first to flee for hapless mortals; on creep diseases, and sad age, and suffering; and stern death's ruthlessness sweeps away its prey.
--Virgil, The Georgics

Critical Thinking Questions
1. How are the ideals of the Roman republic different than the ideals of 5th century Athens? How does this relationship change under Augustus?
2. What is verism? Why is it a problematic term in the interpretation of Roman republican art?
3. How are Roman origin myths present in the art of the early empire under Augustus?
4. How does Augustus manage the transformation between republic and empire. Why must this be done delicately?
