Elaine Fantham studies the life of Augustus' only child, Julia, in a time of radical social, political and dynastic change which brought her from successful marriage and motherhood, to disgrace and exile. 'This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the Augustan period, and will appeal to both scholar and lay-reader. The work encourages the adoption of fresh attitudes and sats fresh light on some important historical issues relating to gender studies.' - History and Culture
