Augustus and the destruction of history
Augustus and the Destruction of History
'Augustus and the Destruction of History' explores how Romans of the late Republic and early imperial period reconfigured their understanding of history and time in response to novel realities, such as civil bloodshed and the Augustan principate
Res Publica and the Roman Republic
Pro Re Publica
Chapter 6 examines Cicero’s euphemism for the illegal behaviour of his preferred champions after Caesar’s assassination: privatum consilium on behalf of the res publica, which was afterwards appropriated by Augustus for the Res Gestae. This chapter looks at how Cicero wrenched what was originally an uneasy justification of political homicide (thanks to P. Scipio Nasica, whose example was generally commended but not imitated) into a justification …
Res Publica Salva
Chapter 3 examines concerns about the long-term well-being of the res publica as the structured political sphere, from the general fear of moral decline to the specific fear that the res publica was endangered by the activities of individuals. The first clearly historical such incident seems to be P. Scipio Nasica’s murder of Tiberius Gracchus in the interests of maintaining the res publica salva, which was followed a decade later by the formaliz…
Res Publica Reciperata
Chapter 5 deals with the civil wars of the 40s and argues that whereas the ‘Republicans’ positioned themselves as defending the res publica even after the evacuation of Italy, Caesar restricted himself to administering a res publica that remained firmly in Rome. The disjunction between these two versions left those uncommitted to either side (like Cicero) in a state of despair, especially after the ‘Republican’ armies were defeated. After Caesar’…
Res Publica Ipsa
Chapter 4 focuses on Cicero’s consulship in 63, during which Cicero used his responsibility for managing the res publica to shut down agrarian legislation and a politicized trial (De Lege Agraria 1–3, Pro Rabirio Perduellionis), defined res publica in terms of political structures (Agr. 2.88–9), gave res publica an explicit geographical location (Agr. 1.18–19), spearheaded a sporadic outbreak of violence in defence of the res publica (Catilinaria…
A Faded Reflection of the Gracchi’
This paper is as much about a particular depiction of the tribune P. Sulpicius Rufus as it is about Cicero's De Oratore , a dialogue regularly called upon by historians to give evidence on the 90s b.c. and the characters who take part in the conversation it depicts. My main focus is literary: I will argue that, given what we know about the historical Sulpicius, Cicero's choice of Sulpicius for a prominent minor role in De Oratore drives the tragi…
Appropriation and Adaptation
Augustus opens the Res Gestae with his age: ‘nineteen years old’ ( annos undeviginti natus ). This places the reader firmly in the autumn of 44, rather than the aftermath of Caesar's assassination on the Ides when Octavian had been eighteen, presumably because the credibility of Octavian's claim to have liberated the res publica rested on his military intervention against Antony and the senate's commendation of it. Velleius Paterculus' summation …
