Cesare Augusto, il primo imperatore di Roma (27 a.C.-14 d.C.), portò pace e prosperità alla sua città dopo decenni di feroce guerra civile. Questa selezione dalla Storia romana di Cassio Dione fornisce la descrizione più completa di quella lunga lotta e del trionfo finale, descrivendo dettagliatamente le battaglie brutali e le faide politiche che portarono al crollo della repubblica di Roma, vecchia di 400 anni, e al successivo regno di Augusto come imperatore. Sono inclusi resoconti di campagne militari dall'Etiopia alla Jugoslavia e del lungo conflitto con Antonio e Cleopatra. Con abilità e maestria, Dione riporta in vita molti discorsi dell'epoca, tra cui la condanna di Augusto per la passione di Antonio per la regina egiziana, e fornisce un resoconto affascinante del dibattito tra il grande generale Agrippa e Mecenate sulle virtù del repubblicanesimo e della monarchia.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of Rome (27 BC-AD 14), brought peace and prosperity to his city after decades of savage civil war. This selection from Cassius Dio's Roman History gives the fullest description of that long struggle and ultimate triumph - detailing the brutal battles and political feuds that led to the collapse of Rome's 400-year-old republic, and Augustus' subsequent reign as emperor. Included are accounts of military campaigns from Ethiopia to Yugoslavia, and of long conflict with Antony and Cleopatra. With skill and artistry, Dio brings to life many speeches from the era - among them Augustus' damning indictment of Antony's passion for the Egyptian queen - and provides a fascinating account of the debate between the great general Agrippa and Maecenas on the virtues of republicanism and monarchy.
