Ancient History

This book is the story of one of the most powerful
dynasties in history.

Following the coup that brought him to power, the bloodstained Octavian recreated himself as the emperor Augustus and allied the Julian clan with the Claudians. The principate which he created lasted for centuries, but the strain on his family resulted in personal tragedy, murder and assassination.
