The peculiarity of this book is not the description of the life, career and character of Emperor Augustus, nor the precise reconstruction of the historical events: in the various historiographical sources one finds descriptions and reconstructions similar to this one, but also others, even diametrically opposed.
What makes it an exceptional book is its epistolary novel structure, which allows all the actors to express their point of view with an immediacy and a richness of detail that is truly incredible.
Of the many books written about the man and the period, this is the only one that is "credible", not, as I said, for its historical accuracy, but for the way it brings the reader close, to the point of intimacy, to the characters.
Not to be missed.
