| 9781557283436 | Augustus | John Edward Williams | Product Description Now in its fourth edition, John Williams' Augustus - winner of the 1973 National Book Award - tells the story of Octavian, a shy and scholarly youth of nineteen who, on the death of his great uncle, Julius Caesar, suddenly finds himself heir to the vast power of the Roman Empire. He is destined to rule that world astonishingly well, given the odds and intrigues against him, and would later be known as Augustus Caesar (63 B.C.-14 A.D.), the first Roman emperor.Through the use of fictional letters, memoranda, and dispatches, we see how Augustus established his essential base of power and how he was continually obliged to put down, by a subtle combination of force and guile, the challenges of such men as Cicero, Brutus, Cassius and, finally, Mark Antony. About the Author John Williams taught at the University of Denver and directed the writing program there. | Univ of Arkansas Pr |

| 9781849081955 | Bronze Age Greek Warrior 1600–1100 BC | Raffaele D’Amato, Andrea Salimbeti | Osprey's survey of Greek warriors of the period of the Bronze Age from 1600 to 1100 BC. More than a century has passed past since German archeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the treasures of Bronze Age Mycenae. The richly decorated artifacts of the entombed warriors, whose bodies still lay in their graves, confirmed that Homer's epic The Iliad was based upon true events, and that the Achaeans described in his poems probably did exist.Through a combined study of the mythical tradition, archeological findings, and written sources, this fascinating addition to the Warrior series explores the evolution of warfare in the Bronze Age Greek world. Covering weaponry, clothing, helmets, and body armor, it provides a richly illustrated guide to the warriors who have shone from the pages of Homer's poem for almost three millennia. | Osprey Publishing |
