The volume is conceived as a tribute to the conclusion of the bi-millennium of the death of Livy and Ovid. It explores the relationship of these extraordinary authors with the Augustan power, investigating through a multidisciplinary approach the different and complex dynamics of adhesion, conformism, distance, dissent, opposition that are now explicit, now evoked in their texts and in their personal life-events. The openness to the diachronic dimension, which characterizes the contributions, makes it possible to verify the echo of this perspective in the lasting fortune of the works of Ovid and Livy up to the present day. The contributions, originally proposed at the conference of the same name held in Pescara on 16 and 17 October 2018, have been revised and reworked by their authors.
