Октавиан

В статье исследуется деятельность Марка Агриппы в 44– 42 гг. до н.э. в период между убийством Цезаря и битвой при Филиппах.

Агриппа вёл агитацию в пользу Октавиана среди ветеранов или солдат, возможно, – в македонских легионах, отпавших затем от Антония. В источниках засвидетельствовано участие Агриппы в Мутинской войне, хотя, видимо, не на командной должности, а в штабе Октавиана. В 43 г.

The article discusses the means and methods that Octavian used to form the public opinion of the Romans in the period 34–32 BC.
