  • Augustus and the Principate

    W K LaceyBOOKAugustus and the principate1996

    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 o…

  • The Family of Euxitheus (Demosthenes LVII)

    Open AccessW K LaceyARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1980Cited by: 1

    Euxitheus son of Thoucritus was struck off the lexiarchicon grammateion (or roll) of the deme Halimous (the Halimousioi), probably in the diapsephisis (revision) of 346/5 B.C. Speech 57 in the Demosthenic corpus (against Euboulides) is his reply to the demarch at the hearing of his appeal. This paper attempts (1) to correct the stemma given for him in J. K. Davies, Athenian Propertied Families 600–300 B.C., pp. 94–5

  • Summi fastigii vocabulum

    Open AccessW K LaceyARTICLEThe Journal of Roman Studies1979

    Tacitus described tribunician power ( tribunicia potestas, trib. pot . hereafter) as the title of the highest pinnacle (sc. of power) in the Roman world ( summi fastigii vocabulum ), and Augustus counted his years of trib. pot . from 23 B.C. So much may be stated with confidence and without dispute. In 23 B.C. however trib. pot . was introduced quietly, so quietly that the exact date of the law by which it was conferred (if it was conferred in 23…

  • Octavian in the Senate, January 27 B.C

    Open AccessW K LaceyARTICLEThe Journal of Roman Studies1974Cited by: 1

    Reviewing Peter Sattler's Augustus und der Senat (1960), J. P. V. D. Balsdon remarked that the background to the events which marked the establishment of the principate is a field which has been ploughed, even deep ploughed times without number. This must be agreed, and the sceptical need go no further than Lothar Wickert's article s.v. princeps in Pauly's RE xxii, 2 (1953), esp. 2002–2004, to confirm the truth of the remark. Much of the ploughin…

  • Cicero, Pro Sestio 96–143

    Open AccessW K LaceyARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1962

    In a recent paper Mr. Balsdon has condemned the ‘political barrenness of Cicero's thought and the thought of his political friends’. The speech pro Sestio , we are told, with its stress on otium , implies ‘an acceptance of the existing political and social conditions, of what Cicero describes as otiosae dignitatis ... fundamenta (98), which the principes must protect and defend’. Defence of these was ‘a placid acceptance of the existing régime’ a…

  • Some Uses of Primus in Naval Contexts

    Open AccessW K LaceyARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1957

    ALL Roman historical writers use a naval terminology based on military parlance. Ships on the move in line ahead (or astern) are an agmen navium , positions in the line are ordines (like ranks in a marching column), ships in a single file are said to move tenui agmine —in two columns are said to be birds in ordine navibus . In one passage the three posts in the column are described as prima navis, media classis, extremum agmen . To bring up the r…
