Die ›Epistulae ad familiares‹ des Kaisers Augustus

Alongside Cicero and Pliny the Younger, Emperor Augustus has been the third important writer of private letters in the Late Republic period and the early Principate. However, his letters have only been preserved by indirect transmission, i.e., as quotations and paraphrases in the work of later authors. Together with a study on the ancient textual and reception history of the letters, this volume contains an edition of the fragments with a commentary.
