My event is the death of Augustus, which is dated August 19th, AD 14. The
closest document that I could find is from The Calendars, "September 17, AD 14"
and happens to be fragments from the fasti anni Amiternini, the fasti anni
Antiates and the fasti anni Oppiani. This is written in latin and I haven't yet
found an English translation, so have been working on my own. These fragments
are known as

CIL. i, p. 243; CIL. i, p. 247 and Inscr. Ital. xiii. I p. 328; CIL. vi, p. 3315
respectively.

These can be found in the book
