The years from the battle of Actium to the death of Nero stand at
the very heart of Roman history. Yet the sources of this key
period, particularly the inscriptions, papyri and coins, are not
readily accessible. Crucial new discoveries remain buried in
learned periodicals, and now that the study of the ancient world is
widespread among those without Latin and Greek, the lack of
translations is proving a serious handicap. Augustus to Nero, first
published in 1985, contains numerous texts not only for students of
traditional political history, but also of those interested in
social and economic history. An introductory essay establishes a
broad methodological framework within which each text may be
understood. The focus throughout is on less well-known literary
evidence: for example, the significant poetry of Crinagoras and
Calpurnius Siculus. Inaccessible sources are here collected and
translated: brief notes are supplied to help the reader.
