This volume focuses on special military and diplomatic missions in
various provinces of the Empire that Augustus and Tiberius
entrusted to selected members of the domus Augusta, granting them
special prerogatives (imperia extraordinaria). Sawinski compares
and analyses various primary and secondary sources exploring
special powers and missions in the provinces of the domus Augusta
during the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, from 27 BC to AD 23,
from border regions on the Rhine and the Danube to client states
such as Judaea and Armenia. It explores the legal aspects of these
powers wielded in the provinces and how these missions and the
subsequent honours helped to solidify power within a new hereditary
system of power. The reader will also find in it a critical
discussion of the current state of research on this subject.
Holders of Extraordinary Imperium under Augustus and Tiberius
offers an important study of these powers and prerogatives of the
imperial family that will be of interest to anyone working on the
Augustan age, the early Empire and Principate, and the Roman
imperial family. This volume should also prove useful to students
of archaeology and art history.
