Chapter VIII: Signs and Abbreviations (1)

The Latin and Greek texts are printed in such a way as to give the best idea practicable of their actual condition. Roman numerals denote the pages of the inscription, and the Arabic figures the lines. These numerals and the chapter headings are no part of the inscription. The projection of the first line of each chapter in the Latin is the only method of marking the divisions in the original.

Parts of the Greek and Latin text included within brackets, [], are conjectural restorations of the portions of the inscription which have perished. The Greek generally is a guide to the Latin and _vice versa_, for the instances are rare where both versions have been lost. The textual notes show that not all scholars have reckoned the same number of missing letters. These variations are quite allowable, for it is impossible to say that just so many letters are missing in any given case, owing to the various sizes of different letters, and varying degrees of closeness of writing.

Where dots (...) occur, it signifies that Mommsen reckons as many letters unrestored as there are dots.

The sign § indicates a mark in the original resembling a figure 7, or a very open 3.

The same sign in brackets [§] indicates an unfilled interval in the stone.

The apices over vowels in the Latin indicate similar marks in the original in the case of a, e, o and u, and in the case of i a prolongation of that letter above the line.

Where certain letters of the Latin text are italicized it indicates that while they do not appear in the plaster casts, yet they were traced by Alfred Domaszewski (a fellow-worker with Humann) on the stone itself, by means of certain discolorations from paint, or gilding, or weather, which marked the bottom of the incisions of the letters in several cases where the surface of the stone had been worn away.

In the textual notes, B. stands for Bormann, G. for Geppert, S. for J. Schmidt, Sk. for Seeck, W. for Wölfflin, Apoll. for the inscription at Apollonia, and Anc. for that at Ancyra.

The abbreviations of the names of authors and their works in the historical notes are indicated in the bibliography at the close of the book.

Below is a copy of the deeds of the divine Augustus, by which he subjected the whole world to the dominion of the Roman people, and of the amounts which he expended upon the commonwealth and the Roman people, as engraved upon two brazen columns which are set up at Rome.[1]

c. 1.

In my twentieth year,[2] acting upon my own judgment[3] and at my own expense,[4] I raised an army[5] by means of which I restored to liberty the commonwealth which had been oppressed by the tyranny of a faction.[6] On account of this the senate by laudatory decrees admitted me to its order,[7] in the consulship of Gaius Pansa and Aulus Hirtius, and at the same time gave me consular rank in the expression of opinion,[8] and gave me the _imperium_.[9] It also voted that I as propraetor,[10] together with the consuls, should see to it that the commonwealth suffered no harm.[11] In the same year, moreover, when both consuls had perished in war, the people made me consul,[12] and triumvir for organizing the commonwealth.[13]

c. 2.

Those who killed my father[14] I drove into exile by lawful judgments,[15] avenging their crime, and afterwards, when they waged war against the commonwealth, I twice defeated them in battle.[16]

c. 3.

I undertook civil and foreign wars by land and sea throughout the whole world, and as victor I showed mercy to all surviving citizens.[17] Foreign peoples, who could be pardoned with safety, I preferred to preserve rather than to destroy. About five hundred thousand Roman citizens took the military oath of allegiance to me.[18] Of these I have settled in colonies or sent back to their _municipia_,[19] upon the expiration of their terms of service,[20] somewhat over three hundred thousand, and to all these I have given lands purchased by me, or money for farms,[21] out of my own means. I have captured six hundred ships, besides those which were smaller than triremes.[22]

c. 4.

Twice I have triumphed in the ovation,[23] and three times in the curule triumph,[24] and I have been twenty-one times saluted as imperator.[25]

After that, when the senate decreed me many triumphs,[26] I declined them. Likewise I often deposited the laurels in the Capitol[27] in fulfilment of vows which I had also made in battle. On account of enterprises brought to a successful issue on land and sea by me, or by my lieutenants under my auspices, the senate fifty-five times decreed that there should be a thanksgiving to the immortal gods.[28] The number of days, moreover, on which thanksgiving was rendered in accordance with the decree of the senate was eight hundred and ninety.[29] In my triumphs there have been led before my chariot nine kings, or children of kings.[30] When I wrote these words I had been thirteen times consul, and was in the thirty-seventh year of the tribunitial power.[31]

c. 5.

The dictatorship which was offered to me by the people and the senate, both when I was absent and when I was present, in the consulship of Marcus Marcellus and Lucius Arruntius, I did not accept.[32] At a time of the greatest dearth of grain I did not refuse the charge of the food supply, which I so administered that in a few days, at my own expense, I freed the whole people from the anxiety and danger in which they then were.[33] The annual and perpetual consulship offered to me at that time I did not accept.[34]

c. 6.

During the consulship of Marcus Vinucius and Quintus Lucretius, and afterwards in that of Publius and Cnaeus Lentulus, and a third time in that of Paullus Fabius Maximus and Quintus Tubero, by the consent of the senate and the Roman people I was voted the sole charge of the laws and of morals, with the fullest power;[35] but I accepted the proffer of no office which was contrary to the customs of the country.[36] The measures of which the senate at that time wished me to take charge, I accomplished in virtue of my possession of the tribunitial power.[37] In this office I five times associated with myself a colleague, with the consent of the senate.[38]

c. 7.

For ten years in succession I was one of the triumvirs for organizing the commonwealth.[39] Up to that day on which I write these words I have been _princeps_ of the senate through forty years.[40] I have been _pontifex maximus_,[41] augur,[42] a member of the quindecemviral college of the sacred rites,[43] of the septemviral college of the banquets,[44] an Arval Brother,[45] a member of the Titian sodality,[46] and a fetial.[47]

c. 8.

In my fifth consulship, by order of the people and the senate, I increased the number of the patricians.[48] Three times I have revised the list of the senate.[49] In my sixth consulship, with Marcus Agrippa as colleague, I made a census of the people. I performed the lustration after forty-one years. In this lustration the number of Roman citizens was four million and sixty-three thousand.[50] Again assuming the consular power in the consulship of Gaius Censorinus and Gaius Asinius, I alone performed the lustration. At this census the number of Roman citizens was four million, two hundred and thirty thousand.[51] A third time, assuming the consular power in the consulship of Sextus Pompeius and Sextus Appuleius, with Tiberius Cæsar as colleague, I performed the lustration. At this lustration the number of Roman citizens was four million, nine hundred and thirty-seven thousand.[52] By new legislation I have restored many customs of our ancestors which had now begun to fall into disuse, and I have myself also committed to posterity many examples worthy of imitation.[53]

c. 9.

The senate decreed that every fifth year vows for my good health should be performed by the consuls and the priests. In accordance with these vows games have been often celebrated during my lifetime, sometimes by the four chief colleges, sometimes by the consuls.[54] In private, also, and as municipalities, the whole body of citizens have constantly sacrificed at every shrine for my good health.[55]

c. 10.

By a decree of the senate my name has been included in the Salian hymn,[56] and it has been enacted by law that I should be sacrosanct, and that as long as I live I should be invested with the tribunitial power.[57] I refused to be made _pontifex maximus_ in the place of a colleague still living, when the people tendered me that priesthood which my father held. I accepted that office after several years, when he was dead who had seized it during a time of civil disturbance; and at the comitia for my election, during the consulship of Publius Sulpicius and Gaius Valgius, so great a multitude assembled as, it is said, had never before been in Rome.[58]

c. 11.

Close to the temples of Honor and Virtue, near the Capena gate, the senate consecrated in honor of my return an altar to Fortune the Restorer, and upon this altar it ordered that the _pontifices_ and the Vestal virgins should offer sacrifice yearly on the anniversary of the day on which I returned into the city from Syria, in the consulship of Quintus Lucretius and Marcus Vinucius, and it called the day the Augustalia, from our cognomen.[59]
