Book Augustus and the Principate

Download or read book Augustus and the Principate written by Walter Kirkpatrick Lacey and published by Arca Classical and Medieval Te. This book was released on 1996 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updating and enlarging on a lifetime's work on Augustus and his `constitutions' Lacey discusses the process of gradual encroachment whereby Augustus unobtrusively and with minimal opposition accumulated more and more power, whilst outwardly retaining the facade of a republic. Chapters examine the constitutional settlements of 27 and 23 BC, to which Lacey attributes less importance than most, the nature of the role given to Agrippa, the evolution of tribunician power, his religious prominence and dynastic arrangements. This all adds up to a very thorough and incisive study of how under Augustus the republic finally died and the principate was born.
