Klaus Bringmann, one of the most renowned German ancient historians and experts on Roman history, presents a new biography of Augustus in this book. In an exciting and enigmatic way, he describes the most contradictory figure in Roman history. Augustus pushed open the gate to the last, most devastating phase of the civil war era and yet became the founder of a world peace that bears the name Pax Augusta in his honour. He began as a high traitor and ended up as the father of the fatherland.
In his early days he trampled law and order underfoot, but he went down in history as the restorer of law and order and as the creator of an order which he himself and probably the majority of his contemporaries described as the best and happiest state of the Roman state.
