Between Republic and Empire: Interpretations of Augustus and His Principate

Representing five major areas of Augustan scholarship historiography, poetry, art, religion, and politics the nineteen contributors to this volume bring us closer to a balanced, up-to-date account of Augustus and his principate.
The early history of Rome was a construct, of which the writer made what he would, or wished to. So also, for us, as this book so plentifully and interestingly demonstrates, is the Augustan monarchy. (Classical Review)
