The Place: The Roman Empire. The Year: 62 AD, in the reign of Emperor Nero. Here begins the story of the Roman Emperors in an exciting new series of novels. Why begin in 62? The answer is because this year represents the high water mark of the Julio-Claudians. The first five Emperors: Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero were all related by blood. They all had inherited the throne because of family ties. It was an informal, vulnerable method of succession. If the system ever broke down, Rome would be plunged into a bloody civil war. The story of First Citizen Emperor covers the years 62 to 65. The cast of characters include: Empress Poppaea: She was the celebrated beauty of Rome. Nero killed both his mother and his first wife so he would be free to marry her. But could she provide him with a son, an heir to the throne? Senator Vespasian: A senior Senator of humble origins, he would became Governor in Africa and then a member of Nero's inner circle. How far would Fortune carry him? Prefect Tigellinus: In 62 he became a new co-Commander of the Praetorian Guard, Nero's bodyguard and private army. How ruthless and corrupting would his influence be on Nero? Prefect Faenius Rufus: Colleague to Tigellinus, he was the 'other Prefect.' How would his loyalty stand up to the political intrigue surrounding the Emperor? Senator Piso: Handsome, wealthy, and charming, would he join a conspiracy for the chance to replace Nero? Officers of the Praetorian Guard: Which of the Tribunes and Centurions charged with guarding the Emperor would join the conspiracy to murder him? Emperor Nero: Only 24 years old when the story begins, he has been Emperor for nearly eight years. But he is more interested in singing, playing the lyre, and chariot racing than ruling the Empire. How can he hold power and keep his troops loyal?

He found Rome made of clay and left it made of marble. As Rome’s first emperor, Augustus transformed the unruly Republic into the greatest empire the world had ever seen. His consolidation and expansion of Roman power two thousand years ago laid the foundations, for all of Western history to follow. Yet, despite Augustus’s accomplishments, very few biographers have concentrated on the man himself, instead choosing to chronicle the age in which he lived. Here, Anthony Everitt, the bestselling author of Cicero, gives a spellbinding and intimate account of his illustrious subject. Augustus began his career as an inexperienced teenager plucked from his studies to take center stage in the drama of Roman politics, assisted by two school friends, Agrippa and Maecenas. Augustus’s rise to power began with the assassination of his great-uncle and adoptive father, Julius Caesar, and culminated in the titanic duel with Mark Antony and Cleopatra. The world that made Augustus–and that he himself later remade–was driven by intrigue, sex, ceremony, violence, scandal, and naked ambition. Everitt has taken some of the household names of history–Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Cleopatra–whom few know the full truth about, and turned them into flesh-and-blood human beings. At a time when many consider America an empire, this stunning portrait of the greatest emperor who ever lived makes for enlightening and engrossing reading. Everitt brings to life the world of a giant, rendered faithfully and sympathetically in human scale. A study of power and political genius, Augustus is a vivid, compelling biography of one of the most important rulers in history.

'Masterly' - Robert Harris, author of Imperium 'Essential reading for anyone interested in Ancient Rome' Independent ***** Caesar Augustus schemed and fought his way to absolute power. He became Rome's first emperor and ruled for forty-four years before dying peacefully in his bed. The system he created would endure for centuries. Yet, despite his exceptional success, he is a difficult man to pin down, and far less well-known than his great-uncle, Julius Caesar. His story is not always edifying: he murdered his opponents, exiled his daughter when she failed to conform and freely made and broke alliances as he climbed ever higher. However, the peace and stability he fostered were real, and under his rule the empire prospered. Adrian Goldsworthy examines the ancient sources to understand the man and his times.

In this second volume of Philip Dwyer’s authoritative biography on one of history’s most enthralling leaders, Napoleon, now 30, takes his position as head of the French state after the 1799 coup. Dwyer explores the young leader’s reign, complete with mistakes, wrong turns, and pitfalls, and reveals the great lengths to which Napoleon goes in the effort to fashion his image as legitimate and patriarchal ruler of the new nation. Concealing his defeats, exaggerating his victories, never hesitating to blame others for his own failings, Napoleon is ruthless in his ambition for power. Following Napoleon from Paris to his successful campaigns in Italy and Austria, to the disastrous invasion of Russia, and finally to the war against the Sixth Coalition that would end his reign in Europe, the book looks not only at these events but at the character of the man behind them. Dwyer reveals Napoleon’s darker sides—his brooding obsessions and propensity for violence—as well as his passionate nature: his loves, his ability to inspire, and his capacity for realizing his visionary ideas. In an insightful analysis of Napoleon as one of the first truly modern politicians, the author discusses how the persuasive and forward-thinking leader skillfully fashioned the image of himself that persists in legends that surround him to this day.

When we think of Augustus Caesar, the image of a young, handsome man spring to mind. The successor to Julius Caesar, we know that he became leader to the roman people at a very young age. And yet the man who was known by several names throughout his life was not a blood relative of Caesar. Although coming from fairly humble origins, this man propelled himself into the life of a fearsome warrior; respected politician and model roman citizen. This book explores the life of Augustus and his rise to power, looking at the various influences and experiences throughout his life. What were the omens that suggested he was more than just an ordinary child? How did he become heir to Julius Caesar's fortune and power? Were all the decisions he made throughout his life politically motivated? How did his step-son Tiberius become his only heir, despite his struggle to ensure that he had a strong family line when he died? Augustus Caesar was a highly complex and intellectual individual who became one of the most powerful leaders of the time. The self-styled Father of Rome, he was truly destined towards divinity.

The acclaimed historian and author of Caesar presents “a first-rate popular biography” of Rome’s first emperor, written “with a storyteller’s brio” (Washington Post). The story of Augustus’ life is filled with drama and contradiction, risky gambles and unexpected success. He began as a teenage warlord whose only claim to power was as the grand-nephew and heir of the murdered Julius Caesar. Mark Antony dubbed him “a boy who owes everything to a name,” but he soon outmaneuvered a host of more experienced politicians to become the last man standing in 30 BC. Over the next half century, Augustus created a new system of government—the Principate or rule of an emperor—which brought peace and stability to the vast Roman Empire. In this highly anticipated biography, Goldsworthy puts his deep knowledge of ancient sources to full use, recounting the events of Augustus’ long life in greater detail than ever before. Goldsworthy pins down the man behind the myths: a consummate manipulator, propagandist, and showman, both generous and ruthless. Under Augustus’ rule the empire prospered, yet his success was constantly under threat and his life was intensely unpredictable.
