- Title
O Princeps Otávio Augusto na Biografia Antiga: um estudo de caso sobre Nicolau de Damasco e Suetônio.

- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to problematize the representations about Octavian Augustus in Nicolaus of Damascus and Suetonius to understand the Augustan biographical features in the two works. The documentation is relevant to the reflection, since it consists of temporalities of different periods. Thus the paper establishes a comparative analysis between the two biographical writings and takes into account the historical context of each of the authors. Our argument is that the biographical knowledge of both tended to a valuation of Augustus as a good ruler and an articulator of the institutions that were subject to his and her group's social controls in that period.
