An index for Augustus

I started reading John Williams' Augustus this week and promptly ran into a problem—finding a particular section in an epistolary novel told from many sources could take quite a while. Since there was no index I thought I would create my own and share it here. (Any misspellings are due to a chronic lack of sleep.) I have only started the book but can highly recommend it at this point.

While there are many online resources for the life and times of Augustus/Octavius, I wanted to point out the Annotated Guide to Online Resources for him at virgil.org.

Update--A few additional links on Augustus, which provide many more links:
