具体描述
Caesar Augustus’ story, one of the most riveting in western history, is filled with drama and contradiction, risky gambles and unexpected success. He began as a teenage warlord, whose only claim to power was as the heir of the murdered Julius Caesar. Mark Antony dubbed him “a boy who owes everything to a name,” but in the years to come the youth outmaneuvered all the older and more experienced politicians and was the last man standing in 30 BC. Over the next half century he reinvented himself as a servant of the state who gave Rome peace and stability, and created a new system of government—the Principate or rule of an emperor.
In this highly anticipated biography Goldsworthy puts his deep knowledge of ancient sources to full use, recounting the events of Augustus’ long life in greater detail than ever before. Goldsworthy pins down the man behind the myths: a consummate manipulator, propagandist, and showman, both generous and ruthless. Under Augustus’ rule the empire prospered, yet his success was never assured and the events of his life unfolded with exciting unpredictability. Goldsworthy captures the passion and savagery, the public image and private struggles of the real man whose epic life continues to influence western history.

读后感
“一切都要感谢他的名字的兔崽子。”马克•安东尼咬牙切齿、愤愤不平。 公元前44年3月15日，尤利乌斯•恺撒遇刺身亡。罗马风云变幻，群雄角逐。有一个年轻人异军突起，他就是被安东尼斥为“兔崽子”的盖乌斯•屋大维。屋大维当时年纪最小、地位最弱，既比不上西塞罗...
评分作为罗马史的专家，作者以严谨的笔触，详细描述了罗马第一位“皇帝”奥古斯都一生的非凡经历和取得的巨大成就。从一个默默无闻的小青年，利用其特殊的身份和金钱，把忠于恺撒的旧部延揽于自己的麾下，在云谲波诡的政局迷雾中，纵横捭阖，争取西塞罗及其主导的元老院的支持，与...
评分1, 先说本书，是一本非常好的了解奥古斯都的传记。然而这本书可能不是那么“好看”。这和奥古斯都的经历有关。他的一生并不是很精彩，哪怕他是罗马帝国的开国皇帝。所以,我建议不要把这本书看作是奥古斯都的个人传记，而应看作罗马帝国的开国史。 奥古斯都的人生没有凯撒那...
评分有点疑惑，整本书像个流水账。一些关键部分没有细节，他为何早年得到凯撒的青睐，从自己拉起队伍到Actium会战之间，奥古斯都的领袖方式应该是很血腥残暴，这在书里多次提到了，但也没有细节。当然作者也提到关于奥古斯都的史料很匮乏，同时他可能也抱着不愿意做太多模棱两可的...
