Augustus Summary

Augustus by Allan Massie

Augustus was the founder of the Roman Empire, adopted son of Julius Caesar, friend and later foe of Mark Antony, patron of Horace and Virgil. Frank and forceful, this putative autobiography tells his story from the assassination of Caesar, through his military, political and personal struggles to his final days as Emperor in everything but name.

Augustus Reviews

'He makes Augustus credible as a man: wily, ruthless, shrewd, generous, admirable' * Andrew Sinclair, The Times *
A flawed, doubting, powerful man rises from the pages of history and imagination. * Douglas Dunn, Herald *
A great achievement * Joseph Farrell, Scotsman *
