Actium's victor, Octavian, evolved from a revolutionary leader into a masterly statesman who was actually able to rejuvenate \u0026amp; reform the shattered Roman state. His numerous successes earned him the name Augustus \u0026amp; the admiration of future generations for whom he was the first in a long line of Roman emperors. This book presents tangible evidence from warships that participated in the Battle of Actium--not actual ships, but direct evidence from the bows of Antony's largest ships. This evidence is preserved on one of the most important monuments of the Augustan Age--a memorial built on the site of Octavian's personal camp to commemorate the victory over Antony \u0026amp; Cleopatra in the Actian War. This memorial still exists at Nikopolis\u0026amp; contains Octavian's first official statement on the Actian War. It is the author's hope that the implications of this monument \u0026amp; the information that it preserves will be carefully debated in the years to come.
