Augustan Rome

These lectures should prove most directly relevant to 1st year Ancient and Modern Historians taking the Augustan Rome paper in Prelims and 1st year CAAH students for the 50 BC-AD50 paper, as well as those offering Roman History 46BC-AD54 in Greats or AMH finals, but all are welcome. The aim is to explore some major aspects of the politics, society and culture of Rome during the Augustan Age. Topics to be covered: Approaches to the Augustan Age; The Establishment of the Principate; Augustus and the Ordines: Senate, Equites and Populus; Social Legislation under Augustus; Augustan Foreign Policy; Augustus and the City of Rome; Augustus and the Divine; Augustus and the Patronage of Culture.
