The choice of Augustus questions was interesting; one generic (development of principate) and one moderately obscure (importance of army).
I did development and did it quite well as it was the best question I could hope for out of all the syllabus points. I hope however, that it isnt seen as the easier of the two questions, its better have your essay stand out even if the question is harder. I was considering the army one, but the fact that it was centered on significance put me off; army reforms would have been better.
One where you could say how he used the army to maintain the pax romana, how he reformed it into a highly structure and institutionalised body, necessary for the survival of the Principate.
Anways, the development question was fine, hope everyone did well!
