Imperial image thoughts

Question 1

Image making game
anti roman
31bc actium
great final decisive victory/foreign enemy
A version which augustus wouldnt have been displeased
escape from peril

Question 2

FIRST SETTLEMENT
Settlement grants mega province of Rome - all but 3 legions of soldiers
gets to remain consul - constitutional
Augustus name - sacred,holy
Corona civica - oak wreath for saving a life
Clipeus Virtutis - shield of virtue,clemency,justice and piety
Auctoritas - personal influence like a God but officially no more than anyone else, first among equals, rules through carisma
gradually winning over different groups of society

Question 3

Resigns Consulship = Clogging up Cursus Honorum, anger statesmen, blocking up flow of useful people, vital route of promotion and patronage
Imperium maius outside Rome - outranks imperium in Provinces, keep hold of Legions
Tribune powers - Veto, Summon senate, Person is inviable,
Refuses Dictatorship - Political stagecraft
Gets Princeps
Holds unusual conglomeration of Offices
Nobody gets rid of the system just the people in it

Question 4

LIVIA
Principate was a dynastic system
Public persona was important
Considerable financial autonomy and control of her own affairs
influential with Augustus and courtiers around Augustus
stage managed modesty
Tacitus - allege she killed successors to get Tiberious to power

Question 5

NAME
He actually is Caesar, all propoganda and state evidence it uses the name Caesar
Divi Filius now in name - play on divine assosiations and not worry about implications of Caesar legacy
Julia gens allows
Imperartor become part of his name, permanent reminder of military success
Augustus has connotations of Augury and religion
Full name = Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus = 28bc
12BC = Pontifex Maximus,
2B = Pater Patriae
