For this response paper, you are going to analyze a primary source: a written document from the past. Primary sources are one of the key pieces of evidence that historians and art historians use to interpret the past and its objects.
The reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus is one of the most famous and well-studied periods in ancient history. The “Res Gestae Divi Augusti” is a text composed by the Emperor Augustus himself, which survives in numerous fragments. It is a first-person account of what he considered to be his key accomplishments. You can find the text of it here:

In a 400-500 word response paper, you should critically analyze this text in relation to the two artworks that we discussed from Augustus’s reign: the Augustus of Prima Porta and the Ara Pacis. Like these two art works, the Res Gestae is a form of political propaganda. In the lecture on those objects, we discussed their themes extensively. How do those themes relate to the text of the Res Gestae? Pull out a few passages from the text and discuss them in relation to some of the details of these two artworks. How do texts and images convey the accomplishments and mythology of Augustus’s reign in ways that are similar and different?
This is NOT a research assignment – you don’t need to look up information online about the Res Gestae. DO NOT USE ONLINE OR LIBRARY SOURCES. The only sources you need are the text of the Res Gestae itself, the lecture video on Augustus, and the images of the Ara Pacis and Augustus of Prima Porta from that lecture.
How do those themes relate to the text of the Res Gestae?
