The dramatic story of Rome’s first emperor, who plunged into Rome’s violent power struggles at the age of nineteen, proceeded to destroy all rivals, and more than anyone else created the Roman Empire
Caesar Augustus’ story, one of the most riveting in Western history, is filled with drama and contradiction, risky gambles and unexpected success. Thrusting himself into Rome’s extremely violent politics while yet a very young man, Augustus skillfully maneuvered his way through twisting alliances during years of civil war. Named heir to the murdered Julius Caesar, he outwitted and outlasted far more experienced rivals like Antony and Brutus. Ruling supreme, he reinvented himself as a benevolent man of peace and created a new system of government.
In this highly anticipated biography Goldsworthy puts his deep knowledge of ancient sources to full use, recounting the events of Augustus’ long life in greater detail than ever before. Goldsworthy pins down the man behind the myths: a consummate manipulator, propagandist, and showman, both generous and ruthless. Under Augustus’ rule the empire prospered, yet his success was never assured and the events of his life unfolded with exciting unpredictability. Goldsworthy captures the passion and savagery, the public image and private struggles of the real man whose epic life continues to influence Western history.
Adrian Goldsworthy is a leading historian of the ancient world and author of acclaimed biographies of Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra among many other books. He lectures widely and consults on historical documentaries produced by the History Channel, National Geographic, and the BBC. He lives in the Vale of Glamorgan, UK.

评分“一切都要感谢他的名字的兔崽子。”马克•安东尼咬牙切齿、愤愤不平。 公元前44年3月15日,尤利乌斯•恺撒遇刺身亡。罗马风云变幻,群雄角逐。有一个年轻人异军突起,他就是被安东尼斥为“兔崽子”的盖乌斯•屋大维。屋大维当时年纪最小、地位最弱,既比不上西塞罗...
评分这本书600多页,厚重的没法捧着看,只能正襟危坐看。作者写的前一本书《恺撒:巨人的一生》和这本相映成辉,不过我是恺撒粉,所以无可避免的偏向恺撒。 奥古斯都,原名盖乌斯.屋大维,生于前63年罗马历9月23日,母亲阿提娅,父亲盖乌斯.屋大维,舅公尤里乌斯.恺撒。恺撒被刺身...
评分1, 先说本书,是一本非常好的了解奥古斯都的传记。然而这本书可能不是那么“好看”。这和奥古斯都的经历有关。他的一生并不是很精彩,哪怕他是罗马帝国的开国皇帝。所以,我建议不要把这本书看作是奥古斯都的个人传记,而应看作罗马帝国的开国史。 奥古斯都的人生没有凯撒那...
