| Although Augustus cleverly refused all titles but principate, the Romans did make a god of him after death. |
|
| The subsequent partial recuperation of the Greco-Roman world under the principate suggests, however, that Caesarism was the lesser evil. |
|
| Under the principate emperors never indulged in such monomachy. |
|
| A few decades later, emperor Augustus, founder of the principate, tried to pacify the territories on the right bank of the Danube and conquer those lying between the Rhine and the Elbe. |
|
| However, for his rule of Rome and establishing the principate, Augustus has also been subjected to criticism throughout the ages. |
|
| The former in 27 BC became princeps civitatis and got the title of Augustus, founding the principate, a diarchy between the princeps and the senate. |
|
| The political system of the principate, which had retained some features of the republican constitution, began to transform itself into the absolute monarchy of the dominate. |
|
| Legalism arose in Republican Rome and remained the predominant legal order in the last centuries of the Republic and the early Principate. |
|
| The republic lived on, albeit in a new phase, the Principate, in place of the earlier Consulate. |
|
| A 5th-cent. manuscript of these lectures, the most substantial legal work of the Principate to survive, was discovered in Verona in 1816 overwritten by later writing. |
|
| During the Principate, the tactical organization of the Army continued to evolve. |
|
| As Tacitus wrote, the younger generations alive in AD 14 had never known any form of government other than the Principate. |
|
| However, Augustus had put the state in order not by making himself king or dictator, but by creating the Principate. |
|
| The Principate allowed the existence of a de facto dictatorial regime, while maintaining the formal framework of the Roman Republic. |
|
| The resulting constitutional framework became known as the Principate, the first phase of the Roman Empire. |
|
| Economic historians vary in their calculations of the gross domestic product of the Roman economy during the Principate. |
|
| Almost as importantly, the Principate now had constitutional stability. |
|
| Horace wrote verse satires before fashioning himself as an Augustan court poet, and the early Principate also produced the satirists Persius and Juvenal. |
|
| This marked the end of the Principate, and the beginning of the Dominate. |
|
| Despite his vilification by contemporary historians, Domitian's administration provided the foundation for the Principate of the peaceful 2nd century. |
|
|
|
| While these functions were clearly defined during the Principate, the emperor's powers over time became less constitutional and more monarchical, culminating in the Dominate. |
|
| The first part consists of Gildas' explanation for his work and a brief narrative of Roman Britain from its conquest under the Principate to Gildas' time. |
|
| During the Principate, Hispania Ulterior was divided into two new provinces, Baetica and Lusitania, while Hispania Citerior was renamed Hispania Tarraconensis. |
|
| Throughout the early years of the Principate although the consuls were still formally elected by the Comitia Centuriata, they were in fact nominated by the princeps. |
|
| A final reason for the Second Settlement was to give the Principate constitutional stability and staying power in case something happened to Princeps Augustus. |
