The first emperor of Rome holds a perennial fascination for anyone with an
interest in the Romans and their Empire. Augustus was a truly remarkable man
who brought peace after many years of civil war and laid the foundations of
an Empire that lasted for nearly five centuries. Even today the Roman world still
underpins modern society. This revised edition of Augustus incorporates new
thinking on many aspects of his rule, and how he achieved such power. The
image that he projected of himself and his achievements was benign, hopeful
and heroic, but behind this carefully orchestrated self-promotion he was subtle,
clever, scheming and ruthless. He has been labelled as a saviour and as a mafia
boss. This account of his life shows how he successfully combined the two
extremes.
