Once Augustus Caesar rose to power, he was able to establish a golden age in Rome

It was known as "Pax Romana", or Roman peace, and it lasted for 200 years.

However, even during times of peace, Augustus was very proactive

I should make books that do for us what those books did for the Romans

After reading those Greek books, the Odyssey and the Iliad, I have found inspiration

Augustus wanted to make a book that would increase the patriotism of Romans

They would also increase the people's loyalty and trust in him exponentially

Virgil, could you make a book that makes Rome under my rule sound really cool

He would move on to commission Virgil to write the book for him

Sure

I wonder how I'm going to make Rome and Augustus seem somehow better than they already are

I think the best way would be to make an origin story of Rome.

I should start from the fall of Troy and death of Priam. This will make it a sort of underdog story, where we rise from the ashes of fallen Troy and become a great empire
