Charles Freeman

Augustus : The Life Of Rome’s First Emperor

Attribution
Anthony Everitt
Publication Details
Book, Random House Trade Paperback ed, Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007
Description
Augustus began his career as an inexperienced teenager plucked from his studies to take center stage in the drama of Roman politics, assisted by two school friends, Agrippa and Maecenas. Everitt has taken some of the household names of history–Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Cleopatra–whom few know the full truth about, and turned them into flesh-and-blood human beings. Everitt brings to life the world of a giant, rendered faithfully and sympathetically in human scale. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
