The first Emperor of Rome holds a perennial fascination for anyone with an interest in the Romans and their Empire. Augustus was a truly remarkable man who brought peace after many years of civil wars and laid the foundations of an Empire that lasted for nearly five centuries. Even today the Roman world still underpins modern society. This revised edition of Augustus incorporates new thinking on many aspects of his rule, and how he achieved such power.

He has been labelled as a saviour and as a mafia boss. This account of his life shows how he successfully combined the two extremes.

I've used it since version 1, and I still only understand a fraction of its capabilities. And he has some really cool heavy stuff here that other instrumental artists don't do (Satriani, Vai). I was a bit disappointed in this book. The fingerings and musical notation is on point, I recommend to any a
