First of all, let's narrow down the sentence by formulating bullet points.
1.Let's define the Res Gestae Divi Augusti and let's check its content. What are the key-points and messages that the emperor wanted to convey?
2.Now let's analyse the Ara Pacis. What is it? When was it built? What do its carvings represent?
3.Let's find any analogy between the key-messages of the Rex Gestae and the visual messages of the carved panels of the monument. What can you see?
4.Introduce these concepts into the broader context of the centralising politics carried out by Augustus and his creation of the imperial ideal.
Once you have the scaffolding, here you go in producing all the details. Finally, you polish everything and here we are!
