I recently read Augustus, and just started this, so it really is interesting visiting the same time period at the beginning of this book with mostly the same story. I think one of the inconsistencies that surprised me was in Augustus, Julia hated Tiberius, but her father says she has to do her duty no matter how awful a person he is. In this book, Julia begs her father and maybe Livia, I forget, to have her marry Tiberius. it's Tiberius who wants nothing to do with her because he is happily married..Also, in this book it is never really mentioned how repulsive Octavius finds Tiberius and does everything in his power to find a different successor. Anyway, I am enjoying it a lot. Edit: Also, great that in this book he gives a reason for Octavius not having kids with Livia which is absent from Augustus.
