Virgil reading the Aeneid to Augustus, Livia, and Octavia – Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, 1809-1819
1media/Augustus Prima Porta.jpg2016-07-25T16:24:42-07:00Step Six: The Age of Augustus (1:00)9gallery2016-07-28T10:24:29-07:00 In this unit we will explore Augustan numismatics in the larger context of the Roman world during Augustus' lifetime. For context watch the lecture from Victoria Győri on “The Age of Augustus” (here is a transcript of of Dr. Győri's lecture). The lecture covers many of the topics, coins, and other works of art that we have been discussing so far. In addition, it discusses two important Augustan literary works: Virgil’s Aeneid and Augustus’ own Res Gestae.
The big question we will consider is how and in what way(s) do all these forms of visual and literary media promote and reflect Augustus’ leadership?
