Augustus did not mean to become the "Founder of the Roman Empire".
We only say this to make sense of what happened later. At the time,
there were indeed suspicions. However, Augustus plugged on with his
propaganda, with a proud and clear aim in mind. In the end, though,
his own persistence defeated him.In all history, we must first find
out what was true at the time. This book focuses always on the
particular words of Augustus, and how his mind could be read from
them. It is not concerned with any contemporary focus of research
in Augustan studies, but offers, rather, a sustained argument over
the primacy of the original sources in any historical
interpretation. Behind that lies the question of truth itself in
any history.
