Abstract
The study analyses textual representations of Roman history in Book 8 of the Aeneid, focusing on the interrelation between the actual and fictional components in the text. It reconsiders an artistic representation of Aeneas' shield from the narratological perspective and argues that the narrator's selection of the shield's tableaux results from the vision (focalization) of Aeneas.
