- This output consists of the following elements: the design of the volume, Goodman’s own chapter and her editorial work on the other chapters. The volume is the end result of a major international conference conceived and organised by Goodman in connection with the bimillennium of Augustus’ death in 2014. The conference was designed to stimulate research and scholarly exchanges concerning posthumous receptions of the emperor Augustus, a topic which at that time had received little systematic attention. Goodman provided research direction by commissioning conference contributions from Cooley, Green, Tougher, Lindner and Galinsky which went on to become chapters in the volume. After the conference she selected the twelve other contributions submitted in response to the call for papers which she considered best placed to ensure that the volume offered a combination of strong research interventions and even chronological coverage. She also commissioned an additional chapter by Black to cover a remaining chronological gap. Goodman’s own chapter, a substantive contribution of c. 13,000 words, not only introduces the volume but also provides the first scholarly chronological overview of Augustus’ evolving reception history and explores the issues of historical relativism and our engagement with Augustus as an icon which it poses. It thus provides both crucial context for the chapters which follow and a reference point for future work on receptions of Augustus. The other chapters in the volume all benefited from Goodman’s input during the editorial process, including but not limited to bibliographical suggestions, factual corrections, flagging up points of intersection with other chapters, help with translations, restructuring, suggested lines of argument, and for Geiger, Simic and Strothmann rewriting some sections of the text for clarity.
