The Res Gestae Divi Augusti, a funerary inscription recounting the deeds of Augustus, was originally displayed on two bronze pillars in Rome. While the originals have been lost, a Latin and Greek copy were found in 1555 in today’s Ankara. Augustus lays stress not only on his foreign policy successes, but also emphasizes his care of the people. He proudly recounts his building accomplishments and cites the many honors bestowed upon him.
