The princeps Augustus (63 BCE - 14 CE), recognized as the first of the Roman emperors,
looms large in the teaching and writing of Roman history. Major political, literary,
and artistic developments alike are attributed to him. This book deliberately and
provocatively shifts the focus off Augustus while still looking at events of his time.
Contributors uncover the perspectives and contributions of a range of individuals
other than the princeps. Not all thought they were living in the "Augustan Age." Not
all took their cues from Augustus. In their self-display or ideas for reform, some
anticipated Augustus. Others found ways to oppose him that also helped to shape the
future of their community. The volume challenges the very idea of an "Augustan Age"
by breaking down traditional turning points and showing the continuous experimentation
and development of these years to be in continuity with earlier Roman culture. In
showcasing absences of Augustus and giving other figures their due, the papers here
make a seemingly familiar period startlingly new
