Augustan Rome (Classical World Series)

This well illustrated introduction to Rome in the age of Augustus provides a fascinating insight into the social and physical contexts of Augustan politics and poetry, taking a detailed look at the impact of the new regime of government on society. The ideas and environment manipulated by Augustus are explored, along with reactions to that manipulation.
Unlike more standard works on Augustus, this book placed greater emphasis on the art and architecture of the time, and on Roman attitudes and values
