The land confiscations adressed by Virgil's Eclogues have been widely discussed in the bimillennial history of Virgilian studies. In this respect, it has often been argued that a committee of triumviri agris dividendis, consisting of Alfenus Varus, Asinius Pollio, and Cornelius Gallus, was charged with the distribution of the lands. Different arguments have been brought against the historical reliability of this account. In this article I reexamine the topic from the point of view of the history of Virgilian exegesis. The reconstruction I propose will focus on datable records, in order to show the evolution of exegesis; later I will focus on non-Servian scholarship, where the different stages of exegesis are more difficult to distinguish.

Palabras clave : Virgilian scholarship; Virgil.
