Discover the fascinating story of Caesar Augustus, the first emperor of Rome, in this detailed biography by Adrian Goldsworthy. The author uses his deep knowledge of ancient sources to narrate the events of Augustus' life, revealing the man behind the myths: a consummate manipulator, propagandist, and showman, both generous and ruthless. Under Augustus' rule, the empire prospered, but his success was never assured and the events of his life unfolded with exciting unpredictability. Goldsworthy captures the passion and savagery, the public image and private struggles of the real man whose epic life continues to influence Western history.
Adrian Keith Goldsworthy is a British historian and novelist who specialises in ancient Roman history.
