This book focuses on the early days of the Roman Empire, that is, the emperors of the Roman Golden Age. These powerful emperors had very different personalities, political pursuits and life interests, and their paths to "becoming a god" were also very different. However, it is precisely because of these touching, ridiculous, absurd, or respectable Augustus that the various Roman Empires were created and a two-hundred-year golden age was created. So how will these emperors influence the future of the empire? How far can they go in the expansion of imperial power? In their oscillation between gods and men, can we see any clues about Rome's transformation from "gold" to "rust"? This book will lead you closer to the "road to godhood" of the Augustus and re-examine and evaluate the "golden age" of the Roman Empire.
