Summary: "Nicolaus of Damascus' Life of Augustus" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work details the life and achievements of Augustus, the first Emperor of Rome, from his childhood and early education to his rise to power after Julius Caesar's assassination. The text provides insights into both his personal development and his political strategies that solidified his authority over the Roman Empire. At the start of the narrative, Nicolaus introduces Octavius (later known as Augustus) as a young and promising figure, admired for his intelligence and noble lineage. He recounts Octavius' upbringing, his close ties to Julius Caesar, and the political turmoil following the latter's assassination. The opening portion establishes a portrait of Octavius as a complex character, navigating his way through risks and challenges, while laying the foundation for his eventual claim to power and authority in the tumultuous landscape of Roman politics.
