The political rupture caused by the ascension of Augustus Caesar in ancient Rome, which ended the centuries-old Republic, had drastic consequences for the performance and understanding of masculinity in a markedly androcentric society. Melanie Racette-Campbell examines how Rome's elite men navigated this liminal moment between Republic and Empire when the total accumulation of power by one man foreclosed avenues of, and appreciation for, competition as the means of constructing and performing their gender.
