The Story Of Augustus Who Would Not Have Any Soup

The Deeds of the Divine Augustus By Augustus can answer all sorts of questions regarding how Augustus portrays himself. Augustus views himself almost as the greatest among men. After the Julius Creaser was declared a deity he demanded that he be called creaser and saw himself as “Divi filius” or “the son of the divine”. Almost like he was trying to use godliness of the former emperor to ensure to be viewed more highly or even be considered a deity himself. Upon Augustus’s death, Augustus left behind three scrolls. One of which scrolls instructed to have all of his accomplishments on a list, to be inscribed upon tablets made out of bronze and to be placed in front of the entry to his mausoleum.

The Pax Romana was a pivotal period in the history of Rome. Because of Augustus Caesar's contributions to the period, it is sometimes referred to as the Pax Augusta. Because of its english translation, (Roman Peace), the name of the period is often misconstrued. Pax meant not only “peace”, but “to pacify”, so while peace prevailed within the the empire, Rome was still exerting military force to expand its borders (Silberberg-Peirce 3). With this in mind, it’s important to look at the events that brought about the Pax Romana in the first place. This includes his rise to power, and the way he used it to take the major political, economical, and social strides that he did. Augustus’s part in the Pax Romana laid the groundwork for Roman prosperity for centuries to come.

Augustus, formerly known as Octavius, was born September 23, 63 BC and died August 19, 14 AD. His father was a senator in Rome, but died when Augustus was only 4 years old. Julius Caesar adopted him from his mother, Atai. She was Julius’ sister’s daughter. He changed his name to Octavian. Because he got to grow up with Julius Caesar, he gained a lot of his skill and knowledge. He also got to be Caesar’s heir.

Throughout his life, Augustus, the first emperor of Rome and self-proclaimed “restorer of the Republic”, sought to improve society. After a disastrous century of disorder, internal turmoil and a political system that was ultimately unsatisfactory for the empire, Augustus attempted to formulate a new Roman government and way of life. He believed that the degradation of Rome was due in large part to a “breakdown in religious tradition as well as political and moral order. Old rites had been forgotten, old temples were allowed to crumble in neglect, and the gods were angry with this”. Augustus attempted to renew peace and stability in Rome through political and

1. There are numerous reasons about why Miss Narwin’s opinion of reading books differs from Philip’s opinion. The first reason is that Miss Narwin is a mature adult, who can understand literature better than children. Miss Narwin also has a love for classic literature, which not everyone shares. The second reason is that Philip would enjoy books that were written when he was growing up; it would be easier to understand and relate to for him. I concur with Miss Narwin’s point of view, as I love to read and some older books have a deeper meaning to them. I also agree with Miss Narwin, for I believe that more classic literature should be spread, so that classics won’t be forgotten. Philip’s attitude might be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy since most children would not have such a deep love towards classic literature. Children also appreciate books that they can understand and relate to.

Augustus is known by many for his successful rule over the Roman Empire and the extended periods of peace during his reign.

Like the concept of childhood, children's literature is very much a cultural construct that continues to evolve over time. (Reference). The complexity and Rowling’s willingness to take on difficult and contemporary issues such as racism, genocide, classism, and difference – makes Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone uniquely valuable in developing a narrative. While both books can be regarded as controversial due to the moral fibre of them, The Catcher in the Rye, captures an adolescent protagonist wavering between childhood and adulthood.

Suetonius describes Augustus in a negative light. At first it didn’t seem that way. The Roman historian touched on Augustus interest in Greek literature and almost a hunger to understand and respect it. From this description it felt more like admiration for Augustus attempting to understand what he did not. Yet Suetonius then goes to discuss Augustus’ sensitivity and immense superstition.

Well-written and inspirational literature not only has the ability to carry a reader into another world but they are able to accomplish this feat while simultaneously delivering deep messages that surpass the written text. Children’s literature is sometimes overlooked in terms of reaching these standards and being considered worthy of critical analysis; this genre is often perceived as having juvenile storylines and concepts portrayed through simplistic language. However, the common writing styles in children’s literature, often being either illustrated books or picture-books, offer the genre with a unique opportunity to achieve deep themes and messages through the dynamic

Children partook in games such as red rover, jump rope, and skating. In the 1930’s books were available to children as well, teaching them about social normalizations and morals. Authors tended not to establish an age range for their readers, whereas today, authors do. In a specific example using a children’s book called “Rag Doll Jane,” Jane taught children to listen to their superiors or they would lose privileges and this enticed them to listen to the lesson being instilled upon them. Books were a privilege due to the costs and supply and those fortunate enough to own books learned to read what they were

Augustus, during his reign as emperor proved effective in ruling through the ideas he implemented to solidify his country. Tacitus stated “nullo adversante” which translates into English “Wholly unopposed” (http://janusquirinus.org/Quotes/QuotesHome.html) this identifies the effectiveness of his reign and the strength he had politically over Rome. Important actions such as the creation of religious and moral reforms, the constitutional agreement and the implementation of the building programme all succeeded in creating stability within the Roman Empire.
