Best Book on Augustus? Anonymous 2016-07-27 20:10:07 Post No. 1470887 [Report]

Hi guys. I have one Audible freebie left and I want to get a book on Augustus. The Williams book was recommended to me, but i've read reviews favoring the Goldsworthy book. Any preferences or opinions? Thanks.

Adrian Goldsworthy is pretty based, though "Augustus" is far weaker than "Caesar: Life of a colossus" IMO

Indeed, thanks again, screenshotted

The HBO series, which I know takes a lot of liberties, as well as Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra got me interested to read the facts about this era.
