Abstract

Through this article, we propose to analyze some initial considerations about the discursive images of Augustus in the Biographies and Histories of the Roman Principate, I b.C. to III a.C. For that reason, we selected the work of Velleius Paterculus, Roman History (I b.C. - I a.C.), the biographies of Plutarch of Chaeronea, Caesar and Anthony (I and II a.C.), the biographies of Caius Suetonius Tranquillus, The Divine Julius and the Divine Augustus (I and II a.C.), the manuscripts of Lucius Florus, Epitome of Titus Livius (I and II a.C.), and, finally, the work of Dion Cássio, Roman History (II and III a.C.).
