Originally sung by a double choir of twenty-seven boys and twenty-seven girls on June 3, 17 b.c.e., The Secular Hymn is an important statement about the Romans’ view of their empire in the time of Augustus. Stemming from an Etruscan belief that a new age of humanity was inaugurated each eleven (or, in some cases, ten) decades, the Centennial Festival reflected Augustus’s view that, with his reign, a new period had begun. For this reason, the poem is filled with images of the rising and setting sun, the passing of the seasons, and, most of all, symbols of birth.
