Between Republic and Empire
Interpretations of Augustus and His Principate
"The early history of Rome was a construct, of which the writer made what he would, or wished to. So also, for us, as this book so plentifully and interestingly demonstrates, is the Augustan monarchy."—Classical Review
Representing five major areas of Augustan scholarship—historiography, poetry, art, religion, and politics—the nineteen contributors to this volume bring us closer to a balanced, up-to-date account of Augustus and his principate.
