Four years and a lot of hard work after the Commemorating Augustus conference, I’m pleased to be able to announce that the edited volume arising from it is being published this month. The volume aims to trace Augustus’ reception history from his death to the present day, and it is entitled Afterlives of Augustus, AD 14-2014.

Afterlives of Augustus front cover

A full listing is available now on the Cambridge University Press catalogue. The official publication date is 26 April, although in fact a few advance copies were spotted on the CUP stand at the Classical Association conference a few days ago. You can read some excerpts, including about half of my own introductory chapter, here.

The full table of contents reads as follows:

Augustus in CA News

14 Monday Jul 2014

The latest copy of Classical Association News soared through my letter-box this morning, complete with a little article which I wrote for it about the Augustan bimillennial commemorations going on across the world this year:

My CA news articleThis is very welcome timing, because it means this piece has reached its readers just in time to alert them to one of those events – my own Commemorating Augustus conference – with two days still to go before late booking fees kick in. If you haven’t booked your place yet and would like to do so, you have until midnight on 16th July to get yourself set up! Full registration and payment details are available here.

As for the article, if you’d like to read the whole thing, you can take out membership of the Classical Association, which includes a twice-yearly copy of CA News, here. I would highly recommend CA membership anyway as a great way to keep in touch with new developments and events in the world of Classics, and with other people who share the same interest. But obviously I have a particular vested interest in recommending it just now! I’d also like to thank the CA News editor, Tony Keen,for escorting my article into print, and for providing the excellent accompanying image.

Countdown to the BimillenniumAugust 19, 2014
Suetonius, Augustus 100.1: "He died in the same room as his father Octavius, in the consulship of two Sextuses, Pompeius and Appuleius, on the fourteenth day before the Kalends of September at the ninth hour, just thirty-five days before his seventy-sixth birthday."
