Resumo
Neste momento, propomo-nos a analisar as imagens discursivas sobre Augusto nas Biografias e Histórias do Principado Romano, séculos I a.C. a III d.C. Para isto, selecionamos a obra de Veléio Patérculo, História Romana (séculos I a.C. – I d.C.), as biografias de Plutarco de Queronéia, César e Antônio (séculos I e II d.C.), as biografias de Caio Suetônio Tranquilo, O Divino Júlio e o Divino Augusto (séculos I e II d.C.), os escritos de Lúcio Anneu Floro, Epítome de Tito Lívio (séculos I e II d.C.), e, por fim, a obra de Dion Cássio, História Romana(século II e III d.C.). Através desse corpus documental, torna-se possível uma comparação entre as imagens discursivas sobre esse imperador Júlio-Claudiano, imagens estas que foram elaboradas em contextos diferentes, através de abordagens distintas e, em nossa concepção, partindo de múltiplas motivações destes autores. Ainda, faz-se possível compreender como as figuras de Júlio César e Marco Antônio são utilizadas nessas criações sobre Augusto, sendo que o primeiro passa a representar o modelo a ser seguindo; enquanto o segundo, a sua antítese. Nesta análise, partimos do pressuposto que os elementos da sociedade do Principado Romano não são homogêneos e que as diferenças entre os relatos, assim como as similaridades, também nos levam à legitimação da estrutura política do Principado Romano.
In this new academic trajectory, we propose to analyze the discursive images of Augustus in Biographies and Histories of the Roman Principality , between centuries I BC to III AD. For this, we selected the work of Velleius Paterculus, Roman History (centuries I BC to I AD), the Plutarch biographies, Caesar and Antony (first and second centuries AD), the Suetonius biographies, The Divine Julius and The Divine Augustus (first and second centuries AD), the writings of Lucius Florus, Epitome of Titus Livy (first and second centuries AD), and finally, the Dion Cassius work, Roman History (II and III century AD). Through his documentary corpus, it becomes possible to compare the discursive images of Julio-Claudian Emperor, which images have been developed in different contexts, through different approaches and, in our view, from multiple motivations of these authors. Still, it is possible to understand how the figures of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony are used in these creations of Augustus, the first of which happens to represent the model to be followed, while the second, its antithesis. In this analysis, we assume that the elements of Roman society in the Principality are not homogeneous and that the differences between the accounts, as well as the similarities, also lead us to the legitimacy of the political structure of the Roman Principality.
