ABSTRACT
In my view there is no anaphora of the same hic here, but the first hic is the adverb.1 To be convinced one need only to read Book 6 through in one go and one will see that the adverb hīc almost invariably begins a line: 24, 27, 72, 442, 479, 481, 540, 580, 582, 608, 648, 660. Its place in the initial position here emphasizes that the soul of Augustus is already at home in Elysium together with the nation's heroes.
