"Monumentum Ancyranum: The Deeds of Augustus" by Emperor Augustus is a historical account, likely written during the late 1st century BC or early 1st century AD. This work details the achievements and administrative actions of Augustus, providing a first-person perspective on his reign and accomplishments, as well as a significant inscription found in Ancyra, Turkey. It serves as a critical historical source for understanding the structure and operations of the Roman Empire during Augustus's time. The beginning of the book introduces the context and significance of the inscription known as the "Res Gestæ Divi Augusti." It explains how Suetonius recorded that Augustus had prepared documents of his accomplishments, which were lost but later partially reconstructed in the form of an inscription discovered by the Dutch scholar Buysbecche in the 16th century. The initial chapters outline the efforts to recover and edit this text, emphasizing the ongoing scholarly interest in Augustus's legacy and the insights it offers into the political and cultural landscape of ancient Rome. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Augustus's recorded achievements, including his military victories, governance, and monumental contributions to Roman infrastructure.
