History sees Augustus Caesar as the first emperor of Rome, whose system of ordered government provided a firm and stable basis for the successive expansion and prosperity of the Roman Empire over the next two centuries. Hailed as restorer of the Republic' and regarded by some as a deity in his own lifetime, Augustus became an object of emulation for many of his successors. This pamphlet reviews the evidence in order to place Augustus firmly in the context of his own times. It explores the background to his spectacular rise to power, his political and imperial reforms, and the creation of the Respublica of Augustus and the legacy left to his successors. By examining the hopes and expectations of his contemporaries and his own personal qualities of statesmanship and unscrupulous ambition, Shotter reveals that the reasons for Augustus' success lie partly in the complexity of the man himself, and partly in the unique nature of the times in which he lived.

Strabo of Amasia offers an intellectual biography of Strabo, a Greek man of letters, set against the political and cultural background of Augustan Rome. It offers the first full-scale interpretation of the man and his life in English. It emphasises the place and importance of Strabo's Geography and of geography itself within these intellectual circles. It argues for a deeper understanding of the fusion of Greek and Roman elements in the culture of the Roman Empire. Though he wrote in Greek, Strabo must be regarded as an 'Augustan' writer like Virgil or Livy.

This book’s presentation of the republican Roman institutions and their history enables the reader to clearly distinguish between what we know from ancient sources and the contemporary knowledge based on modern research. The main goal consists in first presenting the well-documented Roman institutions of the last centuries of the Republic and then analysing the reliability of the ancient sources which deal with the origins of these institutions since the foundation of Rome.

The almost universal adulation given Edmund Waller in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries -- an adulation which, often as not, attached to his reform of poetry -- has been commonly accepted with little question of the grounds on which it is based. In this essay Alexander Ward Allison presents for the first time a specific analysis of the changes from Jacobean modes which Waller made, suggesting in the course of his analysis that the seventeenth century saw not a dissociation of sensibility, but rather a new fusion, of which Waller is a type.By a careful and detailed reading of

À la suite de la bataille d’Actium, Auguste est parvenu à fonder un régime politique durable, communément appelé principat, dont la nature continue à faire débat. L’apparition au début des années 20 av. J.-C. du thème de la Res publica restituta, à la fois slogan et programme politique qui faisaient d’Auguste le restaurateur de l’État romain, n’est pas le moindre des paradoxes. Si l’historiographie reste sensible aux ruptures qui résultaient de la mainmise sur l’État d’un seul homme et de sa famille, il y a place également pour une étude des continuités que le nouveau régime n’a cessé de mettre en avant à ses débuts. Les organisateurs du colloque de Nantes, Fr. Hurlet et B. Mineo, ont rassemblé une équipe internationale d’une vingtaine de chercheurs pour susciter un échange de points de vue sur le sujet entre littéraires, historiens, historiens de l’art et archéologues. Les auteurs augustéens – historien comme Tite-Live, poètes comme Virgile, Horace ou Ovide – ont été l’objet d’une attention particulière à travers l’étude de leur perception du nouveau régime et de la nature de leurs relations avec le prince ; l’enquête a été étendue aux auteurs postérieurs à Auguste qui ont traité de la naissance du principat (Tacite et Dion Cassius). Les épigraphistes et les numismates ont analysé la manière dont le nouveau régime cherchait à se présenter sur les inscriptions et les monnaies afin de mieux saisir toutes les subtilités du discours officiel. La mise en forme des pouvoirs impériaux et l’attitude de l’aristocratie au moment de la mise en place du principat ont fait également l’objet d’études spécifiques. Ont été prises en compte les images liées au nouveau pouvoir – monuments, demeure d’Auguste sur le Palatin, statues, reliefs, cérémonies religieuses – comme support matériel de l’idéologie impériale. Un tel faisceau de points de vue permet de mieux se représenter dans toute leur complexité les fondements du principat augustéen à sa naissance.
