This is a paper about some imperial figures, and mainly the first emperor, Augustus, through the reception of his persona during the first four centuries of the Principate. In three sections, a few aspects of a Roman perception of history are developed through various uses of autobiography, biography, and historical narratives about emperors, from the very beginnings to the reception, from the Antonines to the Theodosians, of model portraits of emperors. The imperial history was made of personal itineraries and biographies, in a ‘republican’ staging: the permanence of a ‘Populus Romanus’ attending, if not participating in, political rituals, the imperial eloquentia frequently celebrated by imperial biographers and used in traditional contiones, the monumental setting of politics — the central function of the forum and many other localities of a city ‘full of memories’. The very inspiring contributions offered by the books and articles Fergus Millar has dedicated to a ‘Greco-Roman’ world considered as widely as possible are used as a guide throughout this essay.

关于一些皇帝人物的传记，历史和记忆

这是一篇关于一些皇帝人物的论文，主要是第一任皇帝奥古斯都通过在原理的前四个世纪中接受其人物形象。在三部分中，从一开始到接待，从安东尼到西奥多斯教徒，对皇帝的模型肖像的各种自传，传记和关于皇帝的历史叙述的运用，发展出罗马历史观的几个方面。帝国历史是在“共和”阶段由个人行程和传记组成的：“罗马人”的永久性（如果不参加政治仪式则要参加），帝国传记作家经常庆祝的帝国口才，并在传统条件下使用，政治上具有纪念意义的环境–论坛的中心功能以及“充满记忆”的城市的许多其他地方。弗格斯·米勒（Fergus Millar）致力于为“希腊罗马”世界奉献的书籍和文章所提供的非常鼓舞人心的贡献被用作本文的指南。
