{"product_id":"augustus-9780415628389","title":"Augustus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first Emperor of Rome holds a perennial fascination for anyone with an interest in the Romans and their Empire. Augustus was a truly remarkable man who brought peace after many years of civil wars and laid the foundations of an Empire that lasted for nearly five centuries. Even today the Roman world still underpins modern society. This revised edition of \u003cem\u003eAugustus\u003c\/em\u003e incorporates new thinking on many aspects of his rule, and how he achieved such power. The image that he projected of himself and his achievements was benign, hopeful, and heroic, but behind this carefully orchestrated self-promotion he was subtle, clever, scheming and ruthless. He has been labelled as a saviour and as a mafia boss. This account of his life shows how he successfully combined the two extremes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Southern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415628389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatricia Southern\u003c\/strong\u003e is an expert on the history of Classical Rome, and has written extensively on the subject, with titles including \u003cem\u003eThe Roman Empire from Severus to Constantine \u003c\/em\u003e(2001), \u003cem\u003eDomitian: Tragic Tyrant \u003c\/em\u003e(1997)\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eThe Roman Army: A Social and Institutional History \u003c\/em\u003e(2007)\u003cem\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50525772644467,"sku":"9780415628389","price":397.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_325ee790-7bff-4b61-bb2d-7c939a2779cd.jpg?v=1790250371","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/augustus-9780415628389","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
