The book provides a comprehensive overview of Augustus' life, from his early years as the adopted son of Julius Caesar to his death and deification. It covers his military campaigns, his political reforms, and his efforts to promote the arts and culture of Rome. The author also explores Augustus' personal life, including his relationships with his family and his role as a patron of the arts. Fairley draws on a wide range of primary sources, including the works of ancient historians such as Suetonius and Tacitus, as well as inscriptions and other archaeological evidence. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in Roman history. Overall, Monumentum Ancyranum: The Deeds Of Augustus (1898) provides a fascinating glimpse into the life and legacy of one of the most important figures in Roman history.
