Romische Werte Und Romische Literatur Im Fruhen Prinzipat

After the end of the Republic, Augustus and his successors were faced with the task of re-stabilising the social and political order. An emphasis on traditional values was a particularly important part of it. This edited volume, which has its origins in a special research group (Sonderforschungsbereich) in Dresden, 'Institutionality and Historicity', deals with the relationship between Roman values and the political strategies and changing social roles of the early Principate as reflected in contemporary literary communication.
