Divi Filius Augustus, Pater Patriae Th e Death of th e Republic Marshall High School Mr. Cline Western Civi lization I: Ancient Foundations Unit FOUR CA * Augustus: A Man of Many Names • Meet Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus, Pater Patriae. You can call him Augustus. • Without question, Augustus is one of the most important people in history. So, who is this Roman fellow with the unwieldy name? • Well, we can learn a lot about him and about the history of Rome just by looking at that name. Augustus' name tells the story of his rise to power, the collapse of the Roman Republic, and the birth of the Roman Empire. • Julius Caesar • Augustus did not always have such a fancy name. When he was born in 63 BCE, his name was Gaius Octavius. • Octavius was just another young man of one of the many noble families in Rome, and an impoverished one at that. • Then, Gaius Octavius' grand-uncle, Gaius Julius Caesar, who we know as Caesar, began his meteoric rise to power. • Caesar took over the Roman Republic and set himself up at its head, making himself incredibly wealthy and powerful. English Spelling of Greek Word Translation Letter Iota Iesous Jesus Chi Christos Christ Theta Theou God's Ypsilon Uios Son Sigma Soter Savior * Augustus: A Man of Many Names • Caesar adopted his grand-nephew, Gaius Octavius, as his sole heir, then got assassinated. Hoping to inherit the fame, property and popularity of Caesar, Gaius Octavius took his uncle's name and became Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. • Since that is a mouthful, let us refer to him as Octavian for the time being. • Mark Antony • Octavian was not the only fellow hoping to succeed Caesar. • When Octavian arrived in Rome after his uncle's assassination, he found Caesar's right hand man, Mark Antony, making his own bid for power. • Mark Antony held the city in tyranny and had incited the masses against Caesar's assassins in the Senate, driving them from Rome. • Much of Mark Antony's power and authority derived from his association with Caesar. • Yet with Caesar's heir Octavian at hand, the public favor began to slip from Antony. English Spelling of Greek Word Translation Letter Iota Iesous Jesus Chi Christos Christ Theta Theou God's Ypsilon Uios Son Sigma Soter Savior * Augustus: A Man of Many Names • Mark Antony • The common people saw the son of Caesar; the Senate saw a young man they could manipulate to get rid of Mark Antony. • Realizing his dire situation, Antony fled to Gaul. • Yet the Senate had gotten more than they had bargained for in Octavian. • Using the menace of Mark Antony as a goad, Octavian bullied the frightened Senate into granting him extraordinary powers for a man of his age. • He was made a senator and granted the same powers as the consuls. More importantly, he was given legal control over the armies of Rome. • This was a wise choice by the Senate, since much of the Roman army revered Caesar and might have defected to Antony without Caesar's heir there, Octavian, to hold them to the Senate. • With the full backing of the Roman Senate, Octavian and the two consuls set out for Gaul. English Spelling of Greek Word Translation Letter Iota Iesous Jesus Chi Christos Christ Theta Theou God's Ypsilon Uios Son Sigma Soter Savior * Augustus: A Man of Many Names • Mark Antony • They beat the heck out of Antony at Mutina, forcing the bedraggled general to retreat. In the fighting, both consuls died, leaving all the glory and military command to Octavian. • The Second Triumvirate • If Octavian had hoped for a hero's welcome upon returning to Rome, he was sorely disappointed. • The Senate had grown wary of the young Octavian and were reluctant to grant him any more glory or power than they could avoid. • The Senate had never been a fan of Caesar in the first place, nor of his heir. • They had used Octavian to keep Antony occupied while they waited for Caesar's assassins, the fugitive senators, to return to Rome with an army. • Realizing the situation, Octavian allied himself with Antony and another of Caesar's supporters named Lepidus. The three formed the Second Triumvirate. English Spelling of Greek Word Translation Letter Iota Iesous Jesus Chi Christos Christ Theta Theou God's Ypsilon Uios Son Sigma Soter Savior * Augustus: A Man of Many Names • The Second Triumvirate • Working together, these three men killed off their political rivals and seized their property in a series of political murders, known as proscriptions. • This removed the last obstacles to absolute power and made the three very wealthy. • In 42 BC, the Triumvirate strong armed the Senate into naming Julius Caesar a god, Divus Julius, after which point, Octavian was able to add the title Divi Filius, the son of a god, to his already long name. • While Octavian and Antony had been fighting among themselves in the West, Caesar's assassins had been amassing power in the East. • A conflict was inevitable, and in 42 BC, the two sides clashed at the Battle of Phillipi. Caesar's assassins, the last champions of the Republic, were completely defeated, and Brutus, who had betrayed Caesar, took his own life. English Spelling of Greek Word Translation Letter Iota Iesous Jesus Chi Christos Christ Theta Theou God's Ypsilon Uios Son Sigma Soter Savior * Augustus: A Man of Many Names • The Second Triumvirate • A few years later in 36 BC, the Triumvirate destroyed the fleet of Pompey Magnus' son, Sextus Pompeius, wiping out the last of those who had opposed Caesar. • Imperator • With their common enemy destroyed, the members of the Triumvirate turned against one another. • Lepidus attempted to claim Sicily, but his troops abandoned him, and he was exiled. • But the biggest rivals in this conflict were Octavian and Antony, who soon turned against one another. • Antony was far more ambitious than Lepidus; he wanted the entire eastern Empire. English Spelling of Greek Word Translation Letter Iota Iesous Jesus Chi Christos Christ Theta Theou God's Ypsilon Uios Son Sigma Soter Savior * The Beginnings of an Empire • Octavian had fabulous wealth behind him, while Antony had the leadership and devotion of Caesar’s legions. Lepidus was never an equal of these two powerhouses, and though nominally allied with Antony, attempted to stay out of their way. It was Antony who commanded the forces that fought Brutus and Cassius, while Octavian stayed in Rome and swayed the Senate, and bought the love of the people. He also bought many troops who had returned home disillusioned by Brutus and Cassius, and looking for payment which Octavian offered. • Once Brutus and his allies were defeated, Antony took refuge in Egypt so as to control the grain supply to Rome, and force Octavian Caesar to come to terms with him on his rule of the, at best, nominally, Republic. There he fell in love with Cleopatra. • As tensions mounted between the two men, Antony made the grave move of threatening Octavian’s legitimacy by declaring Caesarion the legitimate heir of Julius Caesar, and saying that Octavian had forged Caesar’s will, naming him as his adopted son and sole heir. Octavian publicized that Antony had left his wife and two small children (his wife happened to be Octavia, Octavian’s sister) to go native with an Egyptian queen. Soon, Rome was embroiled in another civil war. * The Beginnings of an Empire • Caesar defeated Antony at the naval Battle of Actium. Most of his legionaries and half of his ministers had defected to Caesar as he could pay them, and they would be under Roman control, not Egyptian. Knowing that his defeat was imminent, and receiving promises from his lover that she would do the same, they decided to commit suicide rather than be captured by Caesar and paraded through Rome in his triumph. • Marcus Antoninus took his life with his own sword, believing Cleopatra had already done the same. When he found out that she had not, but was in hiding, he had himself taken to her, and died in her arms. It was at this time that Caesar captured her. • He allowed her to perform Antony’s funeral rites, and then had her kept under guard so as to prevent her suicide, and thus preserve her for his triumph. However, an asp (Egyptian Cobra) was snuck into her in a basket of figs, and she allowed the snake to bite her on the arm, and thus took her own life. • Gaius Julius Divi Filius (Son of a God, as Julius Caesar had been deified by the Roman Senate) Octavianus Caesar was now the sole financial and military power in Rome, and with most of his enemies in the Senate dead, he began to assume sole control of Rome, and thus ended the Republic. * Augustus: A Man of Many Names • Imperator • Octavian had now defeated all his enemies. The Romans had a name for a victorious general: Imperator. • Octavian took this title and made it something more. He made it his name, and by doing so, he changed its meaning. • Though imperator continued to hold implications of military victory, by the time Octavian was finished, all military victories belonged to him. English Spelling of Greek Word Translation Letter Iota Iesous Jesus Chi Christos Christ Theta Theou God's Ypsilon Uios Son Sigma Soter Savior * Augustus: A Man of Many Names • Imperator • Imperator became the title of the loftiest position that man has ever achieved: the absolute ruler, the king of kings, the emperor. • Augustus • Though Octavian held the Empire in his hand, he knew that an iron fist could not hold him in power forever.

  • The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the D
    The Politics of Roman Memory in the Age of Justinian DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Marion Woodrow Kruse, III Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Anthony Kaldellis, Advisor; Benjamin Acosta-Hughes; Nathan Rosenstein Copyright by Marion Woodrow Kruse, III 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the use of Roman historical memory from the late fifth century through the middle of the sixth century AD. The collapse of Roman government in the western Roman empire in the late fifth century inspired a crisis of identity and political messaging in the eastern Roman empire of the same period. I argue that the Romans of the eastern empire, in particular those who lived in Constantinople and worked in or around the imperial administration, responded to the challenge posed by the loss of Rome by rewriting the history of the Roman empire. The new historical narratives that arose during this period were initially concerned with Roman identity and fixated on urban space (in particular the cities of Rome and Constantinople) and Roman mythistory. By the sixth century, however, the debate over Roman history had begun to infuse all levels of Roman political discourse and became a major component of the emperor Justinian’s imperial messaging and propaganda, especially in his Novels. The imperial history proposed by the Novels was aggressivley challenged by other writers of the period, creating a clear historical and political conflict over the role and import of Roman history as a model or justification for Roman politics in the sixth century.

  • Mark Antony's Oration from Julius Caesar
    NAME: ______________________________________ Mark Antony’s Oration from Julius Caesar In William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, Caesar has been assassinated in front of the Senate by a group of Roman offi cials, including his friend, Brutus. After the murder, Brutus speaks to the gathered crowd. He convinces them that the conspirators killed Caesar to save Rome. Mark Antony is another Roman offi cial and friend to Caesar who did not participate in the murder. Antony promises Brutus that he will not blame the conspirators if he is allowed to make a speech also. Act III Scene II Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: The evil that men do lives after them; Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; The good is oft interred with their bones: And Brutus is an honourable man. So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus You all did see that on the Lupercal Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: I thrice presented him a kingly crown, If it were so, it was a grievous fault; Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it. Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest,— And, sure, he is an honourable man. For Brutus is an honourable man; I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, So are they all, all honorable men,— But here I am to speak what I do know.

Rome was in chaos and the 3 seized control of the Republic. • The three would dominate Roman politics for personal gains throughout the territories of the Republic. Julius Caesar • In Rome, Julius Caesar was elected as the tribune of the Plebs, military tribune, and governor of many provinces throughout the Republic. • Believed Crassus helped Julius Caesar win the election to become the Propraetor or governor of Hispania in 63 B.C.E. • Julius returned to Rome after his term as governor.

Caesar was the consul while Pompey and Crassus were in the senate. • Created the First Triumvirate • After his term, Julius was in deeply in debt politically and financially to Crassus and desperately needed to raise money. Marcus Crassus • Crassus was the richest man in all the Roman Republic. He was sharp and clever in Roman politics. He would be a senator and even become consul a few times. • He was a mentor to Julius Caesar in his early career. • Gained much fame during the Spartacus rebellion but much of it was stolen by Pompey. • He was a longtime rival to Pompey Magnus and this would be his eventually downfall.

  • University of Pretoria an INVESTIGATION for POSSIBLE PARALLELS of the ROMAN IMPERIAL CULT (CAESAR-NERO) in the NEW TESTAMENT B
    University of Pretoria AN INVESTIGATION FOR POSSIBLE PARALLELS OF THE ROMAN IMPERIAL CULT (CAESAR-NERO) IN THE NEW TESTAMENT BOOK OF HEBREWS Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Masters of Theology New Testament Studies by Ryan D. Chivington October 2006 Summary This thesis is an investigation of possible significant parallels of the Roman imperial cult (Caesar-Nero) in the book of Hebrews. The book of Hebrews was no doubt greatly impacted by Jewish influence, context, and background. Yet there may be other significant influences that have formed the New Testament book of Hebrews. One such possible influence to the book of Hebrews is the Roman Empire, and more specifically, the Roman imperial cult, the worship of living Roman emperors in god- like terms and the deification of dead emperors. The writer of Hebrews may have used language, forms, and images of the Roman ruler cult to contrast, compare, or clarify their theology and interpretation of Jesus and God. There is the possibility of correspondences between worship of the Roman emperors and the book of Hebrews. Are there significant parallels of the worship of the Caesars to God in the book of Hebrews? Did the writer of Hebrews use illusions, motifs, and images of the Roman emperor cult in parallel to Jesus Christ? Is the Roman imperial cult influence portrayed in the book of Hebrews? If yes, how and to what degree are they portrayed? If no, what are some of the divergences? This thesis attempts to answer these questions in an investigation for possible parallels of the Roman imperial cult (Caesar-Nero) in the New Testament book of Hebrews.

  • Lesson Two--Rep To
    Lesson Two: Rome’s Shift From a Republic to an Empire (Important Note: This lesson might work better being taught in 2 days. Review the lesson carefully before teaching. Perhaps the Republic to Caesar to Empire Reading and Word Wall could be made longer with a longer discussion and then the primary source and monument analyses can be accomplished the next day.) Lesson overview: Briefly remind students of yesterday’s lesson, emphasizing the process of reviewing each of Rome’s historical paradigms through analyzing primary sources and monuments and symbols. Once again review the essential question and remind students of the upcoming final assessment project. Then briefly overview the activities for today’s lesson. Students will then complete a KWL chart on the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. They will then read and report to each other on the “Rome to Caesar to Empire” reading in groups. After this, students will stay in groups and analyze the primary sources and monuments reflecting the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. Finally, the lesson will close with students completing a word wall using the “Rome to Caesar to Empire” reading and their primary source readings. This lesson satisfies the following Common Core and Career Readiness Standards for grades 6-12: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.3 Identify key steps in a text's description of a process related to history/ social studies (e.g., how a bill becomes law, how interest rates are raised or lowered). CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.6 Identify aspects of a text that reveal an author's point of view or purpose (e.g., loaded language, inclusion or avoidance of particular facts).

  • The Late Republic in 5 Timelines (Teacher Guide and Notes)
    1 180 BC: lex Villia Annalis – a law regulating the minimum ages at which a individual could how political office at each stage of the cursus honorum (career path). This was a step to regularising a political career and enforcing limits. 146 BC: The fall of Carthage in North Africa and Corinth in Greece effectively brought an end to Rome’s large overseas campaigns for control of the Mediterranean. This is the point that the historian Sallust sees as the beginning of the decline of the Republic, as Rome had no rivals to compete with and so turn inwards, corrupted by greed. 139 BC: lex Gabinia tabelleria– the first of several laws introduced by tribunes to ensure secret ballots for for voting within the assembliess (this one applied to elections of magistrates). 133 BC – the tribunate of Tiberius Gracchus, who along with his younger brother, is seen as either a social reformer or a demagogue. He introduced an agrarian land that aimed to distribute Roman public land to the poorer elements within Roman society (although this act quite likely increased tensions between the Italian allies and Rome, because it was land on which the Italians lived that was be redistributed). He was killed in 132 BC by a band of senators led by the pontifex maximus (chief priest), because they saw have as a political threat, who was allegedly aiming at kingship. 2 123-121 BC – the younger brother of Tiberius Gracchus, Gaius Gracchus was tribune in 123 and 122 BC, passing a number of laws, which apparent to have aimed to address a number of socio-economic issues and inequalities.
