Description
A comprehensive introduction to Rome in the Age of Augustus, this book explores the social and physical contexts of Augustan politics and poetry. Andrew Wallace-Hadrill examines how the new regime of government impacted society, as well as the role and impact of art and architecture during this period.
The victory of Octavian at Actium transformed Rome and Roman life, shaping Roman values, the imaginative world of poetry, and the visual world of art. This thought-provoking volume sets political changes in context, shedding light on their impact on the fabric of ancient Rome.
