About this book
Augustus by Evelyn S. Shuckburgh concerns the life and times of the founder of the Roman Empire. Antony, in at least one letter preserved by Suetonius, ridicules in the coarsest terms what he considers Cæsar’s hypocritical or prudish objection to his connection with the queen.
C. Cilnius Mæcenas is described as probably a few years older than Augustus, but close enough in age to have been a companion at Apollonia. C. Cilnius Mæcenas had full powers to act for Augustus at Rome during the war against Sextus Pompeius, including altering despatches and letters as necessary. A battle account describes Antony and Cæsar bringing up fresh companies to fill gaps left by the fallen.
