Jean Hardouin, the Jesuit scholar and controversial theorist, became known for his radical theories about classical literature, including his remarkable claim about the true authorship of the Aeneid. His work as a numismatist and his willingness to question established historical narratives made him a figure of both scholarly respect and controversy.
