Lindsay Powell tells the true story of Marcus Agrippa's extraordinary life of achievement and derring-do in the service of Caesar Augustus.
Marcus Agrippa was an exceptional man in his own day and, 2,000 years later, his achievement is undiminished. As the foremost deputy of Emperor Caesar Augustus, for three decades he waged wars, befriended kings and potentates, pacified provinces, and beautified Rome. He personified the term “right-hand man.” He truly was one of ancient Rome's most consequential figures.
Now he is returning to the spotlight through Robert Harris' new novel, Agrippa. If you would like to discover the real man behind the fiction, this new biography draws on the historical evidence to tell his remarkable real-life story.
The subtitle of this book is “The True Story.” Its purpose is to bring Agrippa to a wider, non-academic audience. Acclaimed historian and writer Lindsay Powell skillfully weaves excerpts from observations and insights of the Romans in their own words into his meticulously researched, yet highly accessible, biography.
