Description

Augustus: The Biography tells the story of the man who found himself a demi-god in his own lifetime. Following Julius Caesar's assassination, Octavian rallied support to take control of Rome, becoming its first Emperor and founder of the greatest empire the world had ever seen.

This sweeping history explores the events that led to Augustus's reign, including the civil wars that tore the Roman world apart and the final fall of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. With a focus on the ambivalent glory of Augustus's rule, this monumental biography sheds light on the complex figure who shaped the course of Roman history.
