PUBLISHED BY The Department of History of the University of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, Pa., 1898. ENGLISH AGENCY: P. S. KING & SON, 12-14 King Street, London, S. W. Copyright, 1898, WILLIAM FAIRLEY. PHILADELPHIA ANVIL PRINTING COMPANY 1898 PREFACE The method employed in this edition of the _Monumentum Ancyranum_ is suggested by the purpose for which it is intended. That purpose is primarily to adapt it as one of the series of _Translations and Reprints from the Original Sources of European History_, published by the Department of History of the University of Pennsylvania. The English version is the core of the work. At the same time the opportunity has been seized to present the original texts in such form as to be of real philological service. That there is room for such an edition of the _Monumentum Ancyranum_ there can be no doubt. The critical edition published by Mommsen in 1883, _Res Gestæ Divi Augusti_, must long remain for scholars the sufficient hand-book for the study of the greatest of inscriptions. But that edition, with its Latin notes, is not adapted for ordinary school or college use, or for historical study by those who do not readily use Latin. And although Roman histories constantly refer to this great source for the life and times of Augustus, there has been no accessible English translation. It is true that the English translation of Duruy’s _History of Rome_ contains a version of the _Monumentum_, but it is not in full accord with the latest text as set forth by Mommsen, and is hidden away in the ponderous volumes of that expensive work.
