Talk:Augustus

Research notes and checks (24 October 2026)

The following points about this article's sources still need checking:

The opening description is a plain summary. The notes do not say 'first Roman emperor'; the start of the Empire in 27 BC is attributed to Thompson.
His death (AD 14) is not covered in the notes; the book ends there but the date was not collected.
Thompson notes 38 and 39 have approximate pages and are paraphrased and attributed; note 38 was recorded at '~1/20'.
Dillon note 40 combines pages 660 and 696.
Dillon and Garland is cited as Routledge 2021, ISBN 9780415741521 (paperback, from the copyright page); Perlego lists 9781317391340. Every recorded quotation is a partial sentence, so the article paraphrases. Dates are BC unless stated.
Thompson is cited as Routledge Revivals 2016 edition, orig-date 1931, ISBN 978-1-138-65906-3. **All Thompson page numbers are approximate (~) and unchecked**; every Thompson point is paraphrased. The book is dated (1931), so interpretive views are attributed to him.
No |location= or access-date is cited.
Quotation marks are used only for full-sentence exact quotations, or for terms of three words or fewer found in the notes.
Neutral, family-friendly: the subject died centuries ago; no graphic violence; no living people, active companies or current products are named.
The category Category:People has not been checked against the live wiki, nor have the See also links.
All notes cited are marked 'Not checked' against the printed book.
