Commentary Par VI 80-81

See the great prophecy of Augustus as bearer of world peace in Aeneid I.286-296, esp. verse 294, 'claudentur Belli portae' (the gates of War shall be shut), as was first observed by Pietro di Dante (DDP Pietro1.Par.VI.79-81, along with passages from Lucan -- esp. Phars. I.62).  For both these loci, see also Tommaseo (DDP Tommaseo.Par.VI.79-81).
