Key topics discussed include:
- the background to Augustus Caesar”s spectacular rise to power
- his political and imperial reforms
- the creation of the Republica of Augustus
- the legacy Augustus Caesar left to his successors.
Including more coverage of the social and cultural aspects of this complex character”s reign, together with an expanded guide to further reading, students will not miss a beat if this book is included on their course reading lists.
