Augustus, who held his reign from 31 BC to 14 AD, had to contend fiercely for his throne. His lengthy rule witnessed a vast expansion of the Roman Empire and marked the genesis of a dynasty that, over the ensuing century, would profoundly reshape Rome, both in positive and negative ways. Augustus forged a strategic alliance with Marc Antony, a highly accomplished and ambitious general, resulting in their triumph over adversaries in Rome and the pursuit of survivors to Greece. There, they decisively vanquished their foes in two of the bloodiest battles in Roman history. Throughout his reign, Augustus aspired to instill a sense of systematic organization and peace in Rome. This ambition is notably exemplified by his parting words at his deathbed: "The Battle is Not Over." This renowned quote has been engraved in Italian on the inner lid of this exquisite Connecticut cigar box, serving as a lasting testament to his vision for Rome.
