In exciting news, we got together recently with the amazing and very hilarious gentleman of Totalus Rankium, Rob and Jaime, to discuss all things Augustus! We love their work on the Roman emperors and thought it would be great fun to see how all our different perspectives on Augustus shaped up in conversation.
The results are in!
Enjoy a sparring match of words that goes in all directions. We
explore some of the highlights and low-lights of Augustus' life and
career. You can hear all the fruits of our conversation as Dr G tries
valiantly to salvage something from the criticism coming from all
directions!
The controversial politics of Augustus is central to the conversation and we'll even take a spin on judging Augustus' career against the categories developed by Totalus Rankium. We really enjoyed this collaboration and stay tuned because we'll be delving into Tiberius next 🙂
Augustus, Octavius, Thurinus?Augustus is always a
bit of a tricky figure, so let's back up the truck for just a moment,
here are some of the key details of Augustus' life through his
different names.
The first problem is
always Roman naming conventions and even these get a run for their
money when we come to Augustus. Here's a brief overview of his names
in a timeline:
63 BCE, 23rd of
September
44 BCE, post the
Ides of March
42 BCE onwards
27 BCE, 16th of January
