Abstract

The oath of loyalty in 32 BC put Octavian ahead of an alliance which was led by Italy, seconded by western provinces and it was ready to fight against Mark Anthony, who was seconded by Cleopatra and eastern territories. Suetonius, Dio Cassius and Augustus himself talk about this oath. The original text does not survive so the modern historians have compared this oath with republican and imperial oaths. Our objective is study how developed this oath, itscontents and analyse other oath of loyalty seem this of 32 BC. By this oath, Italy and the Roman West joined politically Octavian with a view to the imminent war against Mark Anthony and this struggle would be the way from the Republic to the Principate.
