Robert graves refers to this type of record as boring, and stilted, and then moves on with the novel called "I, Claudius" as to his mind, a more saleable account of the life of another emperor. The Res Gestae in this edition is a useful teaching tool for an introductory university course in Roman History. It is a useful, but not spritely account.

At the end of his life the emperor Augustus wrote an account of his achievements in which he reviewed his rise to power, his conquest of the world and his unparalleled generosity towards his subjects. This edition provides a text, translation and detailed commentary - the first substantial one in English for more than four decades - which is suitable for use with students of all levels. The commentary deals with linguistic, stylistic and historical matters. It elucidates how Augustus understood his role in Roman society, and how he wished to be remembered by posterity; and it sets this picture that emerges from the Res Gestae into the context of the emergence both of a new visual language and of an official set of expressions. The book also includes illustrations in order to demonstrate how the Augustan era witnessed the rise of a whole new visual language. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
