Notes :	The Res gestae Divi Augusti is an autobiography completed in 13 AD by Emperor Augustus and engraved on bronze tablets. Most of the text was preserved in the Monumentum Ancyranum, the rest comes from two more inscriptions, incomplete but complementary. The identification of the fragments of the Ara Pacis was based in part on this text.

Here's a complicated one! Is the epigraphy of the Augustan text a work in itself? Separate from the Ara Pacis, the protecting building by Richard Meier, and the earlier building by Vittorio Ballio Morpurgo?
