Who was the greater leader, Julius Caesar or Augustus Caesar?

octavian has the history of a rat, if not for marc anthony who he double crossed. octavian would have been shat on lol @ zuckerbergers obsession with him.

check my youtube comments on him :

he will be remembered as a sniveling schemer who got by silver spoon placement and was an ankle on the foot note of marc anthonys glorious legacy. men recognize real men. ausugtus sounds like a back tracking coward.

gave it a thumbs up as always, always good stuff. i know mark zuckerberg would like this episode lol. augustus was a lucky silverspoon inheritance scheming coward chancer and history hasnt left him in the greatest glory for a reason. marc anothonys less of a legacy still shines 3 times as bright as augustus is looked at as a rat.

Caesar: The Life of a Colossus by Adrian Goldsworthy, Rubicon by Tom Holland, and The Poison King by Adrienne Mayor are all really good. The latter isn't specifically about Rome it's about Mithridates; however, he's so heavily tied to Rome that I always recommend it with these other books.

I heard Augustus by Goldsworhy and Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar by Holland are both good but I haven't read either yet (I do own a copy of Augustus though).

I haven't heard anything about In the Name of Rome or How Rome Fell, both by Goldsworthy, but given the quality if his work I'm sure they're good and both are on my list when I get back to reading about Roman history.

I copped Caesar and Christ by Will Durant which is supposed to be really good.

Also got I, Claudius by Robert Graves, Augustus by John Williams and Memoirs of Hadrian but those are all historical ficition books, albeit all classics.

heard good things about S.P.Q.R. by Mary Beard, i got the e-book on my hd
