    Augustus should come up, he was the first Roman Emperor after all, although he used the title Princep.

    Augustus, the lex julia, definitely a question on those.

    Try looking at the timeline of emperors on wiki and learning a few bits about each one within the early roman empire period, it really helps, but focus on Augustus, he's the key man of the era.

    I miss my G+R days. Bloody sociology masters.

    The exam will take a dynastic approach(I think). Julio-Claudian/Flavian and then the early adopted emperors. Worm in Tacitus and Suetonius if you can and maybe a quote or 2 from the Godman book to sex up your essay.

    Good luck.

    I'll be covering Tacitus' and Seutonius writing styles and the course handouts which will be coming up in a kind of comprehension according to Blackboard
