The Augusta Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hmm? So, how then did Marcellus stage games in 23BC? Was it just a promise of what was to come? Sorry, Caesar, I don't think there'll be many people who will accept that the little snot was to be aedile in 22BC. But before we go on with the debate, I must ask you something else: what is your purpose in posting about these conspiracies? Is there a motive behind them? Do you wish to propose that the opposition to Augustus was stronger than some historians have thought? If so, I don't think this has ever been in doubt. Or is it that you wish to discuss each conspiracy in turn and perhaps come to some conclusion about how it changed the course of the Principate?

If our main source (dear Dio) did not know who were the Consuls Ordinarius for 23 BCE (!!! ) how I (and others) can trust his words about a minor Imperial post like the Corula Aedilat . But realy , is it matter ? Marcellus was dead in 09/23 and that's it 2. As I said in post no. 1 - "Any information is welcome" . I don't chalenge anything about the subject , just want to get more detailes . So , yes I "wish to discuss each conspiracy in turn and perhaps come to some conclusion about how it changed the course of the Principate" . Since I saw some 200 entries to this thread I came to a conclusion that people have interest , so I posted all I know about it . Me so altruist...
