Abstract: The following article intends to present some general aspects of politics in the work of Propertius and to deepen the discussion about his usage of water formations as metaphors, understanding that there is a line connecting both subjects. There is a great number of arguments about the structure of his four books, either pointing to his intent to support the Augustan political regime, mainly in book four, or to deny it completely. The main goal of this article is to contribute to the reading of Propertius’ books and their politics, analysing the subtext of the water’s metaphors.
