Monumentum Ancyranum: The Deeds of Augustus
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textThe deeds of Augustus, written by the emperor himself and set up in bronze outside his tomb and in stone across the empire; the best copy survives on a temple wall in Ankara. In a few pages he lists his victories, his gifts to the people and the times the doors of Janus were closed. It is political advertising of the highest order.
