Ottaviano/Augusto e la Venetia nelle fonti letterarie: quale rapporto?

This article analyses Octavian/Augustus’ relationship with the Venetia region, as described by literary sources. The author first examines the problem of Caesar’s legacy in the Transpadana, shedding light on Octavian’s and Antony’s different attitudes towards the so-called causa Transpadanorum and different components of the local society. Further insight is offered on the switching role of the Venetia from strategic region for controlling Italy to staging area for military campaigns across the Alps (Germany, Illyricum and Pannonia). Finally, the author makes an attempt to discern the exact periods when Augustus resided in the Venetia region. Keywords: Octavian/Augustus;
