The Aeneid does glorify Rome by portraying its destiny as divinely ordained (Jupiter’s prophecy, Anchises’ vision) and presenting Aeneas as the ideal Roman leader. However, it also explores the human cost of empire, showing the suffering and sacrifices involved (Dido’s fate, brutal wars in Italy). The ending, with Turnus’ death, raises moral questions about Rome’s rise. While glorification is a key theme, Virgil also acknowledges the burdens of duty and conquest.
