Augustus didn’t rule as a “king,” yet his Principate reworked Republican offices into a durable system of one-man dominance. This quiz focuses on how institutions, titles, and public messaging fit together to legitimize power.
Every question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can slow down for careful source-based thinking. Before you start, pick a question count and set the difficulty to match your comfort level—Mixed blends straightforward facts with interpretive items.
You’ll practice separating formal powers (imperium, tribunicia potestas, priesthoods) from informal influence (auctoritas, patronage, control of honors). You’ll also connect propaganda media—coins, monuments, literature, and public ritual—to specific political goals.
Many learners overstate “restoration of the Republic” as a simple slogan and miss the legal mechanisms that made Augustus exceptional. Another frequent mistake is treating propaganda as mere art history rather than as messaging aimed at elites, soldiers, and the urban crowd.
Mixed difficulty rotates between quick checks (dates, titles, offices, key reforms) and deeper prompts (why a settlement mattered, what an inscription implies, how imagery supports policy). If you want a smoother run, lower the difficulty; if you want more challenge, raise it and increase the question count.
