Document Summary
Based on a close analytical reading of the text, what does augustus" portrayal of his life. Need 3+ reasons with 3 textual details backing up each. Only sources are res gestae, the textbook, and lecture. Tries to maintain semblance of a republic. Avoids directly saying that he took power from people. Refers only to peace and prosperity when saying what he brought to the kingdom. Donated to the treasury from his own money. Didn"t subjugate conquered people who surrendered or mistreat those who are defeated. Doesn"t make it look like he"s trying for power, everything is thrust on him because the people like him. Makes himself out to be really honorable and moral.
