Summary:

The year 2014 was the occasion to commemorate the two thousandth anniversary of the death of Augustus, the first Roman emperor (63 BC-19 August 14 A.D.). This volume, the result of two days of studies held at the University of Burgundy (Dijon, November 2014) and the University of Artois (Arras, 2015), aims to analyze how the memory of the nobody and the reign of the founder of the Principate was built, perpetuated but also transformed over the centuries. Exemplary figure for some, fear even criticized for others, Augustus left neither his contemporaries nor later centuries indifferent. The Romans of the Principate or the late period, just like the men of the Middle Ages and the modern era, oscillated between two appreciations of the character, seeing there, as the case may be, the restorer of the political order or the initiator of a lasting servitude. It is the construction of the memory of Augustus through the centuries that this book intends to explore, thus leading the reader of the Augustus Prima Porta to Auguste Auguste of the painter Jean-Léon Gérôme.
