The founding of the Roman Principate was a time of great turmoil.
This book brings together a set of important Latin inscriptions,
including the recently discovered documents concerning the death of
Germanicus and trial of Cn. Piso, in order to illustrate the
developing sense of dynasty that underpinned the new monarchy of
Augustus. Each inscription is supplied with its original text, a
new English translation, and a full introduction and historical
commentary that will be useful to students and scholars alike. The
book also provides important technical help in understanding the
production and interpretation of documents and inscriptions,
thereby making it an excellent starting point for introducing
students to Roman epigraphy.

This volume, originally published in 2004, investigates the
neighborhoods of ancient Rome during the reign of the first Roman
Emperor, Caesar Augustus (27 BCE-14 CE). Focusing on a group of
neighborhood-based voluntary associations that were important
political and social communities for the city's diverse population
of slaves and ex-slaves, it locates the Augustan neighborhoods
within the broader context of the history of Rome. John Bert Lott
stresses their importance as physical and cultural divisions of the
city and investigates the distinctive relationship between local
neighborhoods and Augustus himself. An interdisciplinary study that
makes use of archaeological, epigraphic, and topographic evidence,
this book makes an important contribution to our knowledge of the
urban life of Rome's lower classes and to our understanding of the
imperial ideology that supported the development of the dynastic
Roman monarchy.
