Res Gestae Divi Augusti

From Wikisource
English-language translations of
Res Gestae Divi Augusti (Res Gestae Divi Augusti)
by Augustus Caesar

The funerary inscription of Augustus Caesar, the first Roman emperor.

According to the text it was written just before Augustus' death in AD 14, but it was probably written years earlier and likely went through many revisions. Augustus left the text with his will, which instructed the Senate to set up the inscriptions. The original, which has not survived, was engraved upon a pair of bronze pillars and placed in front of Augustus' mausoleum.
