Description

For the Historical Characters series

Augustus is one of the historical figures that most fascinates me. A political genius, who couldn't prevent that his own laws would condemn his only daughter Julia to the exile.

 This is a most excellent image (proof positive, so far as I am concerned, that you could furnish any edition of 'I, Claudius' and 'Claudius the God' with appropriate illustration!); whenever I look at images of the first Augustus I keep thinking how perfect a casting choice Mr Roddy Mcdowall was for the character (arguably a better casting choice for Augustus than Ms. Elizabeth Taylor was for Cleopatra - who was more charismatic than beautiful).
