Commentary Par XXXII 119

Calling the Queen of Heaven 'Agosta' is a daring 'imperializing' touch.  The last time we heard the adjective it was in Beatrice's mouth ([Par XXX 136]) and described a true emperor, Henry VII.  This is perhaps as far as Dante can go in the vein initiated in [Purg XXXII 102], 'that Rome where Christ Himself is Roman.'
