raise for the first edition:"[Eck's] narrative (in this fine translation) is readable, rarely obscure and fluently glosses difficult terms and concepts in a way that obviates the need for a glossary. Moreover, he skillfully handles difficult constitutional matters... without confusing the beginner, points out controversial issues, and marks his divergences with current scholarly opinion."ryn Mawr Classical Review"The book provides a narrative of Augustus' achievements and expenditures on behalf of the Roman res publica... Eck is of course a recognized authority. He is the pre-eminent Roman administrative historian, prosopographer, and epigraphist of our time."he Classical Journal, "Eck has produced a second edition of The Age of Augustus good news, especially as this is not just the same lucid book of 2003 with additional bibliography, but has a new chapter, a section on the German wars, and new illustrative material, growing by more than forty pages." ( Greece & Rome , 2008) Praise for the first edition: "[Eck's] narrative (in this fine translation) is readable, rarely obscure and fluently glosses difficult terms and concepts in a way that obviates the need for a glossary. Moreover, he skillfully handles difficult constitutional matters ... without confusing the beginner, points out controversial issues, and marks his divergences with current scholarly opinion." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review) "The book provides a narrative of Augustus' achievements and expenditures on behalf of the Roman res publica ... Eck is of course a recognized authority.
