This scholarly biography details the life of an extraordinary woman
in an extraordinary society. Julia Augusti studies the life of the
only daughter of Augustus, the first Roman emperor, and the father
who sacrificed his daughter and her children in order to establish
a dynasty. Studying the abundant historical evidence available,
this biography studies each stage of Julia's life in remarkable
detail: her childhood - taken from her divorced mother to become
part of a complex and unstable family structure her youth - set
against the brilliant social and cultural life of the new Augustan
Rome her marriages - as tools for Augustus' plans for succession
Julia's violation of her father's moral regime, and the betrayal of
her absent husband. Reflecting new attitudes, and casting fresh
light on their social reality, this outstanding biography will
delight, entertain and inform anyone interested in this engaging
Classical figure.
