Beschreibung

Octavian, nineteen and newly orphaned by Julius Caesar's murder, becomes the heir to Rome and begins the fight to remake the republic into an empire.

Set in ancient Rome from 44 B.C. to A.D. 14, Augustus follows Octavian as he becomes Augustus Caesar, the first Roman Emperor.

After the murder of Julius Caesar, Augustus moves through power struggles, bloody wars, and family strife as Rome is transformed.

Building on impeccable research and vivid character studies, Augustus brings imperial politics to life with a profound humanity.
