 | | That the earlier Augustan poets should leave their great predecessor completely unnoticed is less remarkable, for it may be taken as merely a part of that curious conspiracy of silence regarding the writers of the Ciceronian age which, whether under political pressure or not, they all adopted. | | | Extracts are quoted from it by the grammarians as specimens of the language of the period. | | | You can also find out about how to make a donation to Project Gutenberg, and how to get involved. |

| | The most detailed attempt I know of to construct a teleology for Dio's history is Rosemarie Bering-Stachewski's Römische Zeitgeschichte bei Cassius Dio (Bochum: Brockmeyer, 1981), which argues that Dio saw the Empire as in a state of irreversible decline. | | | S. very wisely abstains from much delving into the identity of Dio's sources, a question on which recent work has reached conclusions either negative or highly speculative. | | | While it is a rare historian of the Augustan period who has not had to deal with Cassius Dio, it is probably an even rarer one who can claim thorough understanding of or comfort with him as a source. |

| | The lack of explicit evidence linking the Apollo temple to Octavian's victory, either at Actium or Naulochus, does not, to my mind, prove that the temple was unrelated to victory in war. | | | This statement is particularly remarkable given that the Romans had so thoroughly refined the gruesome art of crucifixion; live burials, strangulation, and clubbing to death were also among their merciful repertoire. | | | These contain violent episodes, to be sure, but they are also defining events in the history of Rome; and it is their violent culmination in the battle of Actium that resulted in the conquest of peoples from all over the known world. |

| | Interpretations of the purpose of the History also vary considerably, some considering it a work of fiction or satire intended to entertain (perhaps in the vein of 1066 and All That), others viewing it as a pagan attack on Christianity, the writer having concealed his identity for personal safety. | | | As a result, his translation of the History for Penguin Books covers only the first half, and was pubished as Lives of the Later Caesars with himself supplying biographies of Nerva and Trajan which are not part of the original texts, which begin with Domitian. | | | Computer-aided stylistic analysis of the work has, however, returned ambiguous results; some elements of style are quite uniform throughout the work, while others vary in a way that suggests multiple authorship. |

| | While still indispensable for many of the historical details, its overall view of the Augustan regime as the ancient analogue to the European dictatorships of the 30's and 40's is outdated. | | | In sum, within its synoptic framework the seminar will center on some major aspects of the Augustan age proper and on some underlying issues that are also germane to other historical periods, including today, and to scholarly methodology in several disciplines. | | | In brief, many Augustan phenomena--such as the form of government (the "principate"), poetic and artistic conventions, and the imperial religion-- were in a state of nascence and evolution, a fact that tends to be obscured by their routinization in later times. |
