Excerpt from Monumentum Ancyranum: The Deeds of AugustusThis is poorly written both in the Latin and in the Greek, and it is also a very imperfect summary of the document, summing up only what was spent upon games, donations and buildings. The fact that it is in the third person also proves that it is not the work of Augustus. The reckoning by denarii rather than by sesterces points to a Greek origin, and the mention of favors shown by Augustus to provincial towns (cf. 0. 4 and notes) would indicate one outside of Rome.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
