The Personae of Augustus  THE PERSONAE OF AUGUSTUS The Emperor Augustus, during his lifetime, 'wore many hats', that is, appeared to various people in different capacities at various times. One of the arcana imperii was certainly his ability to mix and match these personae as needed, to achieve the maximum political and social effect upon Romans and their subjects. These functions were often carried out through intermediaries, praefecti and procuratores: see H.-G. Pflaum, Abrégé des procurateurs équestres (Paris : E. de Boccard, 1974), or his articles in Pauly-Wissowa, Realencyclopadie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft, for details and citations.PERSONAL:'Young Caesar': family priest of the Julii (at Bovillae, Alba Longa, in Rome)Patrimony: personal finances, large estates, villas (later: Chersonese, Capri, etc.)The Domus in Romethe household staffthe Amici Caesaris and the Clientes (including tens of thousands of ex-soldiers and liberti)his tomb, the Mausoleum Augustihis personal security, his guards and attendants RELIGIOUS:Member of priestly colleges: Pontifex, Augur, Quindecimvir sacris faciundis, and, from 12 B.
