Il contributo indaga il patrimonio valoriale dell'aristocrazia repubblicana rivitalizzato da Augusto nell'istituzione del principato e posto a fondamento del potere suo e della Domus Augusta. Analizza le modalità di trasmissione di tale codice: il ruolo esemplare riconosciuto dal principe a se stesso e ai suoi familiari e la promozione di una piattaforma legislativa sulla famiglia e il matrimonio. Si sofferma infine sull'acquisizione di tale parametro di riferimento da parte della nuova aristocrazia augustea come strumento di integrazione nella antica classe dirigente. In his reorganization of the State, Augustus restored the patrimony of values on which the senatorial aristocracy had founded its power in the res publica and he especially ensured the family’s central role. For this purpose he identified behaviour exempla in the past of Rome and in his own domus and promoted a series of laws to regulate the public and private life of citizens. His aim was to affect morality and birthrate, but also to create a new ruling class: the homines novi would integrate with the ancient aristocracy through marriages and common descendants and this new senatorial class would operate according to the guidelines that had guided the leaders of the history of Rome.

Abstract

In his reorganization of the State, Augustus restored the patrimony of values on which the senatorial aristocracy had founded its power in the res publica and he especially ensured the family’s central role. For this purpose he identified behaviour exempla in the past of Rome and in his own domus and promoted a series of laws to regulate the public and private life of citizens. His aim was to affect morality and birthrate, but also to create a new ruling class: the homines novi would integrate with the ancient aristocracy through marriages and common descendants and this new senatorial class would operate according to the guidelines that had guided the leaders of the history of Rome.
