About This Book

The text presents a first-person funerary inscription offering an official summary of a ruler's public life, listing offices held, military and diplomatic actions, legislative measures, public benefactions, and building projects. This edition reproduces the original Latin text alongside a Greek translation and an English rendering, and it includes a historical introduction recounting the inscription's discovery and transmission. Philological notes, textual variants, and a bibliography accompany the texts, with the Greek often supplying readings where the Latin is damaged and the commentary explaining emendations and interpretive choices for students and scholars.

Mommsen, Theodor: Res Gestæ Divi Augusti ex Monumentis Ancyrano et Apolloniensi. pp. LXXXXVII, 223. With eleven photogravure plates. Berlin, 1883. (R. G.)

This work is so exhaustive and so full that it puts all preceding editions and discussions out of date. Hence this bibliography enumerates only such editions and discussions as have appeared since 1883.
