Synopsis

Reviews

What is it meant by ‘Augustan myth’? The authors of this volume pose this question from different points of view, with an approach rooted in experiences and differentiated methods of study. The political and cultural action of Augustus is a particularly complex case study, which represents a privileged vantage point in order to define the concepts of power and culture that have been contrasted with the ‘Augustan model’ through the ages, making it an ideal reference point, an object of criticism or a polemical target. The authors of this volume are interested in seeing how the various components that form part of the Augustan myth may also function partially or fully autonomous, responding to individual pressures or to those of circumscribed groups motivated by their own purposes. This volume focuses on the perspective of the ‘construction site’ of the Augustan myth and on its most significant moments of its history in the early imperial period. Italian text.

English summary: What is it meant by ‘Augustan myth’? The authors of this volume pose this question from different points of view, with an approach rooted in experiences and differentiated methods of study.

This volume focuses on the perspective of the ‘construction site’ of the Augustan myth and on its most significant moments of its history in the early imperial period. Italian description: Cosa si intende con ‘mito augusteo’? Gli autori di questo volume si interrogano, da diversi punti di vista e con approcci radicati in esperienze e metodi di studio differenziati, su alcune tappe significative di un fenomeno che ha origine dal personaggio eponimo di un’epoca universalmente riconosciuta come una svolta nella storia del mondo occidentale. L’azione politica e culturale di Augusto e un caso di studio particolarmente complesso, che rappresenta un punto di osservazione privilegiato per definire la concezione del potere e della cultura nelle varie epoche che col ‘modello augusteo’ si sono confrontate, facendone un punto di riferimento ideale, un oggetto di critica o un bersaglio polemico. Gli autori di questo volume sono interessati a vedere come le varie componenti che hanno parte nella elaborazione del mito augusteo agiscono in maniera anche parzialmente o totalmente autonoma, rispondendo a spinte personali, o di gruppi circoscritti e mossi da finalita proprie. Questo volume concentra il suo sguardo sul ‘sito di costruzione’ del mito augusteo e sui momenti piu significativi della sua storia nella prima eta imperiale.

"...it is a welcome and worthy addition to the field, and belongs on the shelves not only of research libraries but also of individual scholars concerned with Augustus' literary representation and reception." -- Nandini B. Pandey, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2014.08.12
