Descrição: Romano outlines of the physiognomy of Vitruvius as a man of the "transition": he was educated in late republican times and worked in the cultural climate of the first years of the principate. Vitruvius' professional life ran its course between Caesar and Augustus, but this trajectory is not limited to his professional life: the continuity, which he emphasizes, between military service under Caesar and his decision to serve Octavian is the key feature of both his biography as a historical figure and his self-representation as a literary author. In other words, they may term him a man of the transition, to use the cultural and chronological periodization that is commonly applied to the last decades of the republic and the first years of the new system of institutions, the principate.
