2) Think-Pair-Share (25 mins)
With a partner or in small groups, discuss one or two of the following questions. After you have
come up with an answer, you will share with the rest of the group.
A) What did Caesar and Augustus do differently? Why would we consider Augustus the
first emperor and not Caesar? Do you think this is justified? Why or why not?
B) Who were the members of the Second Triumvirate? Was this a stable political
institution? Why did it dissolve? How did Octavian end up the sole ruler of the
Roman Empire?
C) What reforms did Augustus enact? Was he a good politician? What did he claim was
the basis of his power and why was this a problem? In your opinion, was his role as
head of state a beneficial one for the development of the Roman Empire?
D) What do the following terms mean and why are they significant?
Princepts, Concordia Ordiuum, Marcus Agrippa, The threat of the East, Actium,
Janus, Res Gestae Divi Augusti.
Are there any key terms from the lecture that I’ve missed and if so, what are they?
