Abstract
In this article, I argue that Vergil’s vatic announcement maius opus moveo in the symbolic middle of his epic (Aen. 7.45, the closure of the invocation to Erato) should be read as containing the poet’s signature “Ma(ro)-Pu(blius)-Ve(rgilius).” This authorial signature, as I suggest, may evoke not only the famous “Ma-Ve-Pu” acrostic in the Georgics, but further Vergilian acrostics and signatures as well.
