    About the book: year / The Acts of the Divine Augustus" in Latin and Greek versions are known from the inscription from Ankara (Monumentum Ancyranum), discovered in 1555 by the ambassadors of Emperor Ferdinand II to Sultan Suleiman. It was written on the walls of the local temple of Rome and Augustus, which was later converted into a mosque. Another source for the text of Acts is fragments of a Greek translation found in Apollonia (Pisidia in Asia Minor). There they were on a platform on which were installed statues of Augustus, Tiberius, Livia, Germanicus and Drusus. Fragments of the Latin original were also discovered in Antioch (Pisidia). The translation was made according to the edition prepared by J. Gage (Gage J. Res gestae divi Augusti ex monumentis Ancyrano et Antiocheno latinis, Ancyrano et Apolloniensi graecis. Paris, 1935).
