The princeps Augustus (63 BCE - 14 CE), recognized as the first of
the Roman emperors, looms large in the teaching and writing of
Roman history. Major political, literary, and artistic developments
alike are attributed to him. This book deliberately and
provocatively shifts the focus off Augustus while still looking at
events of his time. Contributors uncover the perspectives and
contributions of a range of individuals other than the princeps.
Not all thought they were living in the "Augustan Age." Not all
took their cues from Augustus. In their self-display or ideas for
reform, some anticipated Augustus. Others found ways to oppose him
that also helped to shape the future of their community. The volume
challenges the very idea of an "Augustan Age" by breaking down
traditional turning points and showing the continuous
experimentation and development of these years to be in continuity
with earlier Roman culture. In showcasing absences of Augustus and
giving other figures their due, the papers here make a seemingly
familiar period startlingly new.
