Res gestae divi Augusti : text, translation, and commentary

This commentary engaged in detail with a mass of primary source material relating to the political, cultural, social, military, and economic history of the Augustan era. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach to the inscription, exploring its intertextuality, setting it into the context of an emerging visual ideology, and engaging with its status as a bilingual text, it developed new perspectives upon Augustus’ self-representation and the text’s audiences. By engaging with both the inscription’s Greek and Latin versions, it went beyond the traditional scope of RGDA editions by examining its audiences in the Greek East as well as at Rome.
