Synopsis:
Despite his talent for self-promotion, the character of the emperor Augustus is rarely revealed and as such makes this biography unique in its presentation of Augustus the man. Pat Southern chronologically traces the life, works and times of the emperor, presenting ideology and events from his point of view to provide a compelling depiction of an extraordinary man, who was the guiding light in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire.
About the Author: Pat Southern is Librarian at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. She is co-author of The Roman Cavalry (Routledge 1997).
