Description
'Masterful ... a breathtaking panorama of Roman politics at a crucial turning point in history' Simon J. V. Malloch, Literary Review
He
was named son and heir by a murdered dictator. He came to Rome with
nothing, surrounded by ruthless enemies. Yet Augustus would become the
first Roman Emperor, transforming the Republic into the greatest empire
the world had seen. This is the definitive biography of the man who
changed Western history.
'An unequalled biography' Harry Mount, Spectator
'Jochen
Bleicken's biography of Rome's first emperor is excellent on the young
Octavian and his wheeling and dealing' Natalie Haynes, Independent
'A superb account ...
It should become standard reading for everyone
interested in the foundations of the Roman empire' Peter Jones, BBC History Magazine
