The other is Octavius’s closest friend, Agrippa. To claim Octavius’s inheritance, they must fight the giant figures of the Roman Empire – and, against all odds, they win. Octavius becomes the Emperor Augustus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor twenty years, they rule the world together. Now Agrippa is fifty. Ailing and alone, betrayed by his wife’s infidelity, he takes refuge in his house on the Bay of Naples and begins to write his memoirs. Yet to stir up the past can be dangerous. From his earliest meetings with Julius Caesar, through the epic conflict with Mark Antony and Cleopatra, the great naval battle of Actium and the endless wars to expand the empire, he describes how one man has dominated his life: the cunning, ruthless, unknowable Octavius. When it comes to power, does friendship exist at all?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Event","offers":[{"title":"Book Signing Admission (includes a copy of the book)","offer_id":57177013846389,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781529154412_1.jpg?v=1778665288","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/17th-october-11am-robert-harris-book-signing-agrippa","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
