When Octavian, Caesar’s handpicked successor, declares his intention of restoring the Republic, a grateful Senate bestows on him the title of ‘Augustus.’ But behind his structural reforms lay a hidden agenda… Over the course of half a century, Rome’s “First Citizen” quietly and methodically established imperial rule and ushered in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity. This book-the jewel in the series-details the successes and setbacks of Rome’s first emperor.
