Abstract
Abstract:As a study of relationality in Ausonius's Mosella, this paper explores how the poet figures the river as a powerful connective force linking together times, spaces, humans, animals, and supernatural creatures. The many interconnected relationships mediated by the river reveal insights into how Ausonius constructs meaning in a way that does not rely on intertextual engagement with earlier authors.
