The Romans in the Age of Augustus

“The book is complemented by 19 figures and 5 maps.  It quickly brings the reader into the world of Augustus in an engaging style.”  (Near East Archaeological Society Bulletin, 1 December 2013)

"This aside, The Romans in the Age of Augustus presents a complex topic in an accessible format and would make a useful addition to courses on Roman history as well as to those that offer general surveys of the ancient world". (Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 18 May 2011)

"It is...a pleasure to report on The Romans in the age of Augustus (63 BC to AD 14) inBlackwell's excellent series ‘The Peoples of Europe'.This short overview, just under 170 pages long (plusendnotes, references and index), grew out of ANDREWLINTOTT's teaching at Oxford and the BritishSchool at Rome: it packs a tremendous amount ofinformation on the period with consummate ease." (Antiquity, December 2010)

"Roman historians already keep Lintott's Imperium Romanum, Constitution of the Roman Republic, and Cicero as Evidence at their fingertips and assign them for their courses. Here is another in that tradition. Modestly styled an "ethnography," Romans in the Age of Augustus is in fact a political, social, and cultural history of Rome and Italy at the crucial moment in their history, filled with living, breathing individuals."
—Greg Rowe, University of Victoria

"Lintott's admirably concise treatment is especially strong on the Republican background of Augustus' rule and everyday aspects of his government."
—Karl Galinsky, University of Texas at Austin
