What do you think Augustus saw as the purpose of the inscription? Do you think he achieved that purpose ?May the following does not possess full...

Most likely you are referring to the RES GESTAE. In
English, it means "Things having been done." Basically it is a record of his
achievements, which he set up. We have a copy of it in Turkey -
Ankyra.

Almost every scholar believes that this work is
pure propaganda. Augustus knew how to market himself and get people to see him in a
certain way. He was remarkable in this regard. Perhaps the best the world have ever
seen.

The best explanation of this work that I have heard
is the following: Augustus has mastered the art of lying without ever lying. In other
words, what he says in the RES GESTAE is true, but the cumulative picture is not. For
example, he completely changed the Roman Republic forever. He accumulated all power to
himself and restored very little.
