Power and memory in imperial Rome
Good Condition – Vintage book in good condition with noticeable cover, spine and edge wear.
Allan Massie imagines the life of Augustus through letters, memoirs and conflicting voices from the heart of ancient Rome. The man who ended civil war and became the first Roman emperor looks back on ambition, friendship, family and the compromises required to hold power. Public achievement is set against private loss as history is shaped by recollection and self-justification. Thoughtful and richly atmospheric, Augustus is a historical novel about leadership, legacy and the uncertain boundary between the story a ruler tells and the truth others remember.
