Recenzje

[Lewis'] unique approach employs astronomical and astrological works as the foundational evidence for Augustus's actions, resulting in an analysis of the emperor based on astronomical sky maps at an unprecedented level. This analysis yields new interpretations of Augustus's reign and provides a better understanding of the Roman ruler. It offers a novel approach to understanding Augustus and Roman society during his life and provides an opportunity for Roman scholars to reimagine the relationship Roman elites had with Roman religion...Highly recommended.
