This book presents seven fresh and original views of Caesar
Augustus, as the authors of the papers collected here consider the
image which he presented of himself, how poets and historians
reacted to him, the nature of his rule, and the representation of
the newly established monarch among his subjects in the provinces.
The contributors are well-known historians and scholars: Zvi Yavetz
(Tel Aviv), Fergus Millar (Oxford), Claude Nicolet (Paris), Emilio
Gabba (Pavia), Werner Eck (Cologne), Glen Bowersock (Princeton),
and Jasper Griffin (Oxford). These papers were first given at a
colloquium held at Wolfson College, Oxford, to celebrate the
eightieth birthday of the late Sir Ronald Syme, author of The Roman
Revolution (OUP 1939) and other seminal works. A substantial amount
of documentation has been added in the notes, but the main texts
retain the form in which they were given as lectures, and with it a
freshness and immediacy in approaching a central moment in history
from a number of new angles.
