Augustus: The Life of Rome's First Emperor
by Anthony Everitt
Excellent biography of the Roman Emperor Augustus. The author covers in detail the later years of Julius Caesar’s life through a quick synopsis of Caligula and Claudius’ reigns.
The full scope of Augustus’ life is revealed, his accomplishments and faults. Roman culture can seem quite salacious to a modern reader, Everitt does a good job contextualizing the proclivities of all the main characters in Augustus’ life, from Mark Antony to Tiberius, etc.
I love a critical biography, and this was surely that.
