Firth, J: Augustus Caesar -

. .

Résumé :
Excerpt from Augustus Caesar: And the Organisation of the Empire of Rome

This volume may be considered to some extent as a sequel to the earlier volume on Julius Caesar in this series which was written by Mr. W. Warde Fowler. It also inevitably overlaps to a certain de gree the volume on Cicero, written by Mr. J. L. Strachan-davidson. I hope it may be found not wholly unworthy to take a place by the side of those two brilliant studies. My obligations to the in numerable scholars and historians who have worked and tilled the same ground before me are exceed ingly great. For the earlier period I may specially mention the illuminative essays in the great Dublin edition of T fie Letters of Cicero; for the constitu tional changes introduced by Augustus, Mr. A. H. J. Greenidge's Roman Pu?lz'c Life; and for the pro vincial administration, Professor Mommsen's well known work, T fie Provinces of Ike Roman Empire.
