Augustus (agnomen)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Augustus est in initio adiectivus qui significat sanctus, consecratus, attinet tam ad homines quam ad res.
Verisimiliter originem Etruscam habet haec loquela, et pertinet primum ad augurum doctrinam et ad augures ipsos qui augusti sunt. (ambo verba idem etymon habere videntur quod pertinet ad haruspicium et augurum doctrinam).
Postea imperator Octavius qui titulum regis renuebat voluit solum hoc nomen adhibere, quod postea omnium imperatorum agnomen et quasi titulus fuit.
