Abstract
This article offers an in-depth examination of Augustus' presentation of the people of Rome in his Res Gestae. Augustus was careful to craft an image of himself as the legitimate ruler of the Roman Empire which is illustrated by his precise use and intentional choice of words such as populus and plebs in certain passages in his testament. By continuing the established language of power he was clearly able to place himself within the traditions while simultaneously manipulating conventional political language into a mode of communication that served his own position of sole rule.
