This commentary on Book IV, while describing the current state of the art in Propertian studies, provides an original text as well as a critical apparatus, together with a translation in prose. Unlike recent editions that favoured the hypothesis of a third branch, the text edited here, based on Marc Dominicy's works, attributes to Manuscript T an important yet secondary role, as opposed to N. In the first part, a critical synthesis places each elegy into context and reviews the literary, historical and sociological issues it may raise. This general perspective paves the way for the detailed ad uerbum analyses that follow. Indeed, Propertius does not only reshape the elegiac fiction of the puella and its models, as happened in the first three Books. He also focuses on realia, such as Rome's monumenta in the opening poem. His writing strategy consists in using the prism of myth and ideology in order to bridge the gap between contemporary reality and imagination. The elegiac poet takes a critical view on the emergence and development of a new conception of political power based on the revival of Roman tradition and the foundation myth sung by Virgil and Horace.
