History sees Augustus Caesar as the first emperor of Rome, whose
system of ordered government provided a firm and stable basis for
the expansion and prosperity of the Roman Empire. Hailed as
'restorer of the Republic' and regarded by some as a deity in his
own lifetime, Augustus was emulated by many of his successors.
David Shotter reviews the evidence in order to place Augustus
firmly in the context of his own times. 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.
Revised throughout, the second edition of this successful book
takes the most recent research in the field into account. David
Shotter also includes more coverage of the social and cultural
aspects of this complex character's reign together with an expanded
guide to further reading.
