Untersuchungen zur Geschichte und Verwaltung Aegyptens Unter Roemischer

Description: This book explores the complex relationship between the Roman emperor Augustus and the peoples of the vast and diverse Roman Empire, particularly in the East, where the cult of the emperor flourished. Augustus carefully crafted an image of himself as the guarantor of peace and prosperity, and he encouraged the worship of himself and the goddess Roma as a means of unifying the empire and legitimizing his rule. The author examines the various forms of this emperor worship, from private cults to official ceremonies, and discusses its significance in shaping the political and religious landscape of the Roman world. The book also explores the ways in which Augustus's policies and actions affected the lives of ordinary people in the empire, particularly in Egypt, which became a Roman province during Augustus's reign. By examining the emperor's efforts to control the grain supply, his reorganization of the local administration, and his promotion of public works, the author sheds light on the complex and often contradictory nature of Roman imperialism. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of the emperor Augustus and his impact on the Roman Empire, demonstrating the ways in which he transformed the political, religious, and social fabric of the ancient world.
