Augustus - A Biography

Born to a plebeian family in 63 BC, Octavian was a young solder training abroad when he heard news of Julius Caesar's brutal assassination - and discovered that he was the dictator's sole political heir. This title tells the story of a man who found himself a demi-god in his lifetime and paints a portrait of the dramatic periods of Roman history.
