Historical background
AUGUSTUS
(01/16/27 BC -08/19/14 AD)
The year 20 marks a turning point in the very long reign of Augustus. He has been in power for twenty-three years. He received the title of august for seven years. His tribunician power has been renewed every year for three years. He married his only daughter to Agrippa after the death of Marcellus. His lineage seems assured. His first grandson was born that year. He still has thirty-five years to live, which he will use to consolidate the Principate..
