Nicolaus of Damascus, the chief minister of Herod the Great, was an
exact contemporary of the first Roman emperor Augustus; he spent
considerable time in Roman society and knew Augustus. The extensive
remains of his Bios Kaisaros contain the earliest and most detailed
account of the conspiracy against Julius Caesar and his
assassination. The Bios also presents the most extensive account of
the boyhood and early development of Augustus. This edition
presents the Greek text and translation of the Bios and Nicolaus'
autobiography, along with a historical and historiographical
commentary. The Introduction situates the text in relation to the
considerable evidence for the life and career of Nicolaus preserved
in the works of Josephus, addresses the problem of its date of
composition, analyses the language and narrative technique of
Nicolaus and discusses the Bios in relation to the evidence for
Greek biographical encomium.
