The Roman History: The Reign of Augustus(ISBN=9780140444483) fb2 pdf azw3 网盘 rtf 免费 下载 txt

　　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 de*ion 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.

书籍介绍

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.
