Descrizione: In 19, 18 and 11 BCE, Augustus rejected the extraordinary position of a curator legum et morum maxima potestate. According to his own statement in Res gestae divi Augusti 6.1, he instead took care of the commonwealth’s pressing issues at the time through his tribunicia potestas, while allegedly being checked by his peers in power.  [Author]
