Description
Augustus, First Roman Emperor: Power, Propaganda and the Politics of Survival The rise and reign of Augustus, Rome's first emperor, has had a lasting impact on history. This book explores his ascent to power and the methods he used to maintain authority throughout his rule. A key aspect of his strategy was the use of propaganda to shape his own historical legacy. Augustus' relationships with influential figures such as Maecenas and Agrippa played a significant role in his success. The fates of notable poets, including Virgil and Ovid, also provide insight into the emperor's reputation. Public monuments and poetry served equally important roles in shaping Augustus' image. By examining these factors, this book offers a nuanced understanding of Augustus' reign and its enduring legacy.
