Tonight, we explore the life of Augustus and the moment he chose to stop the relentless expansion of the Roman Empire. While many emperors sought glory through endless campaigns, Augustus recognized that the true strength of his people lay in maintaining what had already been gained. We will walk through the quiet halls of his palace and observe the transition from a state of constant war to the stability of a lasting peace. Let your mind drift to the golden landscapes of Italy as we reflect on the architecture of a power that spanned three continents. Close your eyes and allow the history of the ancient world to carry you into sleep.
