Description

Explore the dramatic transformation of the Roman world in Caesar's Legacy: Civil War and the Emergence of the Roman Empire. This historical account follows the journey of eighteen-year-old Gaius Octavius as he lands in Italy in April 44 BC to begin his takeover of Rome. Follow the intense struggle as Octavius defeats Caesar's assassins, the son of Pompey the Great, and the duo of Antony and Cleopatra. This book details how he dismantled the old Republic to become Augustus, ruling for forty years alongside his wife Livia. Rather than just focusing on political shifts, this narrative examines how the bloody civil wars fought by Augustus and his soldiers changed the daily lives of men and women across the Mediterranean world and beyond. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the rise of the Roman Empire and the end of the Republic.
