Augustus Caesar follows Octavian from the assassination of Julius Caesar to his emergence as the first Roman emperor. It traces the civil wars against Caesar’s killers, Sextus Pompey and Mark Antony and Cleopatra, culminating in victory at Actium.

It also considers provincial government, social legislation, building and succession, explaining how a regime born from civil war created a durable imperial system and a powerful image of restored peace.
