Augustus (Roman Imperial Biographies)\nSouthern, Patricia\nPublished by Routledge, London, 1998. Bound in the original publisher's hardcover boards, titled in silver to the spine and upper board. Appears unread. Internally the block is sound. Jacket unclipped with minimal creasing to the edges. Vg+ to Near Fine overall. First Edition and impression. 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.\n---------------------------------------------\nOne of a number of similar items I am selling.
