This article presents the basic assumptions and theses of the collection of essays The Alternative Augustan Age (ed. K. Morrell, J. Osgood, K. Welch, New York 2019). This book is a post-conference publication; the conference papers, according to the intention of the organisers, are concerning the so-called the Age of Augustus and not the princeps directly. Moving away from the narrative focus on Augustus’s actions in literary sources is the most characteristic feature of the book. When discussing its content, Paul Hay’s and Kit Morrell’s articles have been discussed most copiously. These scholars draw attention to the analogies between some of Augustus’s initiatives and the ideas and reforms with which the three politicians associated with the faction of the optimates, Lucius Cornelius Sulla, Gnaeus Pompeius the Great and Marcus Porcius Cato came up towards the end of the republic. According to the author of this article, not all the similarities identified by those researchers find equally robust support in the sources. Nevertheless, their research sheds new light on the problem of Augustus’s relationship to the traditions of the republic.

Przedmiotem artykułu recenzyjnego jest praca zbiorowa The Alternative Augustan Age. Jej autorzy intencjonalnie nie koncentrują narracji na samym Auguście, zwracając uwagę m.in. na republikańską metrykę części inicjatyw cesarza. Te, w których zdawał się on podążać śladami wytyczonymi przez Sullę, Pompejusza i Katona Utyceńskiego, omówili K. Morrell i P. Hay. Choć nie wszystkie przywołane przez badaczy analogie znajdują równie solidne oparcie w źródłach, en masse rzucają interesujące światło na kwestię stosunku Augusta do tradycji republiki.

The article examines the validity of the view which challenges Pliny the Elder’s information concerning the existence of the colony of Flaviopolis on the Thracian Chersonesus, arguing that its name was unusual for a colony. The author discusses situations in which the title of the colony could have been combined with local place names ending in -polis. Furthermore, attention is drawn to the peculiar character of Natural History as a source for toponomastic research and the fact that the latter work also mentions the colony of Flaviobrica, whose name seems interesting given the doubts surrounding the legal status of the Thracian Flaviopolis.
