Gaius Octavius is a still a teenager, who has only recently been adopted into Caesar's household, when he receives news of Julius Caesar's assassination. Knowing he has to prove to himself and to Rome that he is his adopted father's legitimate heir, he arrives back in Italy with only his name and Caesar's legacy to both support his claim and seek revenge against the assassins.

Becoming one of the three most powerful men in Rome, using a mixture of ruthless determination and exceptional political skills he has to consolidate his power whilst dealing with his bitter rival, Marcus Antonius. Then, as Rome's foremost and most powerful citizen, he must rejuvenate a society devastated by decades of civil war.

Written in the form of Augustus' autobiography, this is a brilliant account of how, as princeps, Augustus expands Rome's wealth and territory. With his wife Livia at his side, he successfully rules the imperium for over 40 years.
