Much like for other associations, lists of magistrates (fasti) and members (alba) of the association of the * Augustales are preserved, yet research on hierarchies of the (associations of the) * Augustales is virtually non-existent. This paper is an attempt to partially remedy this, based on a limited corpus of exceptional inscriptions from Ostia, Liternum and Trebula Suffenas. More specifically, it is an attempt to trace what this may have meant for individual members of the association (listed in alba) or magistrates in office (listed in fasti), and how these texts help to contextualise their position. I will focus on three questions : (1) Which inscriptions can be considered as alba and fasti of the * Augustales (and why) ? (2) What do (sometimes problematic) titles and positions mentioned in these inscription tell us – or not tell us – concerning hierarchy among the * Augustales and their interaction with the city council ? (3) How can these texts offer insights in inter-and trans-generational mobility patterns within the associations of the Augustales
