Sure, I spent a month reading this book, but I was reading a lot of other things at the same time. I really enjoyed reading a more objective version of what I knew only from the Shakespearian plays. I like that G.P. Baker writes about the life of Augustus from the point of view of now, but also tries to explain how that same life was regarded at the time. I liked this one almost as much as Hannibal, and I plan to read more of his books.... if I can find them.

Very interesting, and dryly amusing biography of Rome's first emperor.
