[1580] Dio Cass. liii. 12. Augustus uses the expression consulare imperium for his position at this time (Mon. Anc. ii. 5, 8). It resembled a proconsular command, but was held within the city. Compare the position of Pompeius in 52 B.C.

[1582] In the Calendar we find for January 13 (the day of the settlement) “quod rem publicam P. R. restituit” (C.I.L. i. p. 312). Cf. Ovid Fasti i. l. 589 “redditaque est omnis populo provincia nostro”; Vell. ii. 89 “prisca illa et antiqua rei publicae forma revocata.”
[1583] Dio Cass. lii. 1 ἐκ δὲ τούτου μοναρχεῖσθαι αὖθις ἀρκιβῶς ἤρξαντο. In the Cenotaphia Pisana (A.D. 2) ii. l. 12 Augustus is called “custos imperi Romani totiusque orbis terrarum praeses” (Wilmanns n. 883).
