Professor Jones discusses the career of Augustus in the context of the turbulent times of the breakdown of the Roman Republic into civil war. He shows how dependent Augustus' rise to power was upon his adoption by Julius Caesar, and traces the ruthless and unscrupulous way in which Augustus exploited his unique position as "Caesar's heir." But he demonstrates that Augustus's continuing success was all his own: the adopted son succeeded in solving the political crisis which, because he had failed to do so, had cost the father his life. For Augustus was a consummate politician, and it was his great achievement to establish a form of government which proved more or less stable for over two centuries.

Beautiful & comfortable summer dress
Size: XX-Large, Color: Whisper White/Black Polka Dot
Beautiful summer dress! I’m very busty, so I really appreciate the stretchy material on the back. The shoulder straps are adjustable, with a button cleverly hidden on the inside where they attach, and the side zipper is perfect. It keeps my bust from straining the dress when i’m putting it on. The pockets are definitely a bonus! The fabric is a bit light, but it has an underlining that doesn’t affect the fit. I don’t see a tag besides the size label, but it feels like cotton. I love it and think it’s worth the price. Hopefully, it stays just as nice after washing. I plan on buying the black one too.

Defective and see through.
Size: Medium, Color: White
For such an expensive linen dress, it should have no issues. It's see through on top and had snags in the bodice front. Also one of the stitchings over a breast seamed a little crooked. Zipper is OKAY. Does have pockets. Is a sturdy feeling breathable material but even covers would show through. I'm 5'9" and the Bodice part came low enough for me which is really rare and was very flattering. I got a medium for bust room so it was just a smidge loose in the waist but not bad enough that I wouldn't have kept it if it didn't have big snags in front. For being $90 it should absolutely not be see through.

Buy it!!
Size: Large, Color: Red Rose Floral
Love this dress! the fit is amazing and the fabric is linen but feels soft. It is lined, not see through at all and the straps are thick enough for a regular bra. It's a bit expensive for me but I was obsessed with the rose print, just love it.

Nice but TOO SMALL
Size: Medium, Color: Whisper White/Black Polka Dot
This dress is cut so small. I usually wear a medium and it didn’t attempt to zip up. If you buy this order a size or TWO up so you can actually fit it. Other than the size issue the quality is nice. The black polka dot print is cute.
