Into the book
Augustus was not a man who opened his heart to just anyone.
Caesar's bright and cheerful personality, which always brought laughter to those around him regardless of whether the situation was difficult or happy, attracted people and brightened the atmosphere.
In contrast to Caesar, there was always silence around Augustus, and people watched him from a distance.
That was Augustus' interpersonal relationship.
If Caesar captivated people with his emotions, Augustus filled them with admiration.

Thanks to you.
It is also how our lives are made.
Thanks to you.
So that we can travel safely.
Thanks to you.
So that we can live freely and peacefully.
This unexpected praise made old Augustus truly happy.
He instructed them to give each person 40 gold pieces.
However, conditions were placed on the use of the gold coins.
The idea was to use the money to buy Egyptian goods and sell them elsewhere.
Even in his old age, Augustus remained a practical man.
Only when goods are freely circulated can the economic power of the entire empire improve and the standard of living rise.
And it was Pax that made that possible.

Even the republican historian Tacitus praised Caesar as having a talent comparable to that of a god.
Later historian Mommsen also evaluated Caesar as the only creative genius Rome produced.
Augustus was a genius in building a solid and lasting empire where the signs were set.
But it was Caesar who put up the sign.
If we adopt the mindset that true intelligence is only possible if one possesses creativity, then wouldn't Augustus receive a score of 80?
The problem is 'persuasiveness'.
It is the ability to convey one's thoughts to others through sentences or speeches and convince them of them.
What you convey is important, but how you convey it is also important.
Only when these two things are combined can you persuade others.
In this regard, how many points would it be appropriate to give Augustus?

Publisher's Review
There is no doubt that Shiono Nanami is a sincere and diligent writer.
He has kept his promise to write a comprehensive history of the Roman Empire, one volume per year, totaling 15 volumes, by the year 2006.
Moreover, when we consider that this was not a promise made in a half-hearted manner, but rather a promise made through meticulous preparation and tenacious persistence, we realize anew that we cannot dismiss that slender Japanese woman as a writer.
Countless readers awaited the publication of "The Roman Story," and Shiono did not disappoint.
He has prepared a story that is perfect for today, when we are closing the millennium and opening the new one.
"A serious crisis befell the Roman Empire, which lasted five hundred years! How did the Romans overcome it?" This is the theme Shiono explores in Volume 8, "Crisis and Overcoming."
What Shiono possesses as a writer is, above all, his exquisite ability to capture the timeliness of his writing.
Shiono never neglects to read the present and look to the future using the meticulously revealed history of the Romans as a mirror.
