Julius Caesar surprises everyone by appointing his intellectual nephew Octavius as his heir. After going through fire and iron, the young man, despite his initial hesitations and the conspiracies woven against him, manages to vanquish his internal and external enemies.
Now a powerful emperor, Octavius Augustus begins to change everything with the guiding motto: "If it is someone's fate to change the world, their first obligation is to change themselves." The novel, written in epistolary form, recounts the story of the emperor and his glorious era through memoirs, diaries, letters, and descriptions from his contemporaries, including Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, Ovid, and Virgil, as well as the women he married.
A central role is played by the adventure of Augustus's beloved daughter Julia, who, by violating her father's laws regarding marriage and infidelity, found herself, from a "goddess" in Rome, exiled to a remote island.
