I am a young local Roman official who has some Gallic family connections with a wine business and has been involved in the building of the temple and has good communications with everything going on at Rome, including the poetry of Horace.

 About 500 words. Around the time of the dedication of the temple, a group of people happens to meet nearby at a public fountain with nice benches and a shrine to the Muses. Each one has their own perspective on experiencing a city that has been affected by Roman power.  Wite a monologue that describes what they are doing that day, exploring what they think about the development of the city of Nimes, and articulating anything they want to say to or ask the others in the group. What impact has the actions of Augustus detailed in the readings and this week’s lecture page had on each of them? Use of your imagination to tell an impactful story is encouraged. What ways can you come up with to express your individual’s experience of and perspective on Roman imperial power and local conditions in Gaul?
Along the way, please demonstrate that you have carefully read and thought about this week’s course materials (and previous course materials if appropriate). write a monologue that describes what they are doing that day, exploring what they think about the development of the city of Nimes, and articulating anything they want to say to or ask the others in the group.
