The Senatus Consultum de Cn. Pisone Patre
The Senatus Consultum de Cn. Pisone Patre is a senatorial decree issued in AD 20 following the trial of Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, the governor of Syria, who was accused of rebellion against Tiberius following the death of his heir Germanicus. It survives on several inscriptions and is among the most important documents from the early Principate. This new edition, with translation and commentary, sets the text within its contemporary context, consid…
The Res Gestae in its provincial contexts
This paper demonstrates the importance of viewing the Res Gestae not just as a document intended for an audience at Rome, but as a text that was adapted for display in different provincial urban contexts, via its incorporation into different monumental settings at Ancyra, Apollonia, and Antioch, via the addition of a translation in Greek that modified the original emphases of the Res Gestae , and via the addition of an Appendix at the end of the …
From the Augustan Principate to the Invention of the Age of Augustus
This paper explores alternatives to analysing the political impact of Augustus in terms of the establishment of a new constitutional structure, the Augustan Principate. It starts by showing how the word principatus changed over time and explores the significance of the term statio . It considers how contemporaries viewed the political changes that occurred during Augustus’ lifetime, analysing the ways in which power at Rome became increasingly em…

A Companion to Roman Italy
Pompeii provides historians with the means to understand urbanism and its links to its hinterland. This chapter looks to the cultural memory of Pompeii's past located in texts and then moves on to examine the role of emulation, housing, and urban spectacle. In so doing, the site is set in the context of both its history and its landscape. The chapter emphasizes the role of both textual and archaeological sources as means to presenting an overview…
The Roman Paratext
What is a paratext, and where can we find it in a Roman text? What kind of space does a paratext occupy, and how does this space relate to the text and its contexts? How do we interpret Roman texts 'paratextually'? And what does this approach suggest about a work's original modes of plotting meaning, or the assumptions that underpin our own interpretation? These questions are central to the conceptual and practical concerns of the volume, which o…
Paratextual readings of imperial discourse in the Res Gestae divi Augusti
It has long been clear that to understand Roman epigraphic culture we need to examine inscriptions not just as texts, but also as monuments. The monumentality and public display of texts inscribed on bronze and stone reflect an important investment by the person or body that chose to set them up. This paper explores a new approach to Roman epigraphy by examining inscriptions from the perspective of paratexts, developing the theoretical approach o…
Pompeii and Herculaneum
The original edition of Pompeii: A Sourcebook was a crucial resource for students of the site. Now updated to include material from Herculaneum, the neighbouring town also buried in the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook allows readers to form a richer and more diverse picture of urban life on the Bay of Naples. Focusing upon inscriptions and ancient texts, it translates and sets into context a representative sample of th…
The Cambridge Manual of Latin Epigraphy
This book advances our understanding of the place of Latin inscriptions in the Roman world. It enables readers, especially those new to the subject, to appreciate both the potential and the limitations of inscriptions as historical source material, by considering the diversity of epigraphic culture in the Roman world and how it has been transmitted to the twenty-first century. The first chapter offers an epigraphic sample drawn from the Bay of Na…
Roman Inscriptions 2006–2010
The aim of this quinquennial survey remains the same as its predecessor, as for the most part does the format, though the team is regrettably reduced by one. With an eye to the study of the Roman world, we hope to signal the most important newly published inscriptions, significant reinterpretations of previously published material, new trends in scholarship, recent studies that draw heavily on epigraphic sources, and noteworthy developments in th…
Res Gestae Divi Augusti
At the end of his life the emperor Augustus wrote an account of his achievements in which he reviewed his rise to power, his conquest of the world and his unparalleled generosity towards his subjects. This edition provides a text, translation and detailed commentary - the first substantial one in English for more than four decades - which is suitable for use with students of all levels. The commentary deals with linguistic, stylistic and historic…
