Cuma
moved towards the outside world during the reign of Augustus; the ideology of
the Empire was close to the prophetic divinities such as Apollo, whose
veneration went back to ancient times in Cuma. It was for this reason that in
his VI Book of the Aeneid, Virgil, an Augustus poet, places in Cuma, the Cuma of
Apollo and the Sibilla, the presentation of Rome and it’s glory. Therefore,
the Cuma of the Aeneid is known the world over both for it’s history and it’s
legends.
