What Emperor Augustus Did To His Own Daughter Was Worse Than Death

Описание: They called him the "Father of the Fatherland." They called him the savior who turned Rome from brick to marble. But what Emperor Augustus did to his own daughter was something far worse than tyranny.

In the year 2 BCE, a scandal shattered the image of the perfect Roman family. Julia the Elder was thirty-seven years old and the most powerful woman in the Empire. But she was about to learn what it meant to be a prisoner of her father's "morality." What followed wasn't just a punishment. It was a systematic erasure of a human soul, designed to protect a political legacy at the cost of a daughter's life.

Secret parties in the Roman Forum. A podium used for laws turned into a bed for lovers. The famous defiance of a woman who refused to be a broodmare for the state. And the darkest retaliation—a father who called his own child a "disease in his flesh" and sentenced her to a living death.

From the "Golden Cage" of the Imperial Palace to the starvation and isolation of the island of Pandateria, this was a machine of control that proved even the Emperor's family wasn't safe from his ruthlessness.

The Romans called it Iustitia (Justice). The poets called it tragedy. Modern historians call it what it was: a father sacrificing his child to save his ego.
