Res Gestae Divi Augusti (extra credit blog)

One of the best ways to understand Augustus Caesar is to to look a the The Res Gestae Divi Augusti, his own summary of his achievements.  

What kinds of things is Augustus proud of?  What particularly impresses you?  What insights do you get into Augustus' personality?  Are there any suggestions of tragedy here?
