The Roman Empire The Roman Empire The Roman Empire, a book written by Colin Wells, depicts the different phases of the Roman Empire through the discussion of its administration and emperors. The Stanford University in Stanford, California published the book in 1984. The history of Rome is quite interesting yet was very disastrous for the people living at the time. The government had drastic uprisings, and, in many cases, the corrupted Senate would provoke a chain of unpleasant events. For the most part, this book focuses on the growth of the social and political institutions of the Roman Empire in its entirety. Before Augustus became emperor there were a series of events that took place leading him to his victory. Julius Caesar, his uncle, sent him to study in Apollonia. After Caesar’s assassination, Augustus was uncertain about accepting his inheritance, but, nonetheless, he did with the purpose of avenging his uncle’s death. At the age of nineteen, he joined the Consulship of Gaius Pansa and Aulus Hirtius in 43 B.C., Augustus, previously known as Octavius, allowed the Senate to use his family name Caesar to gain the confidence of the soldiers and people.
