/lit/ - Literature

I was taking an individual seminar class with my professor about the Roman Republic, reaching the very end he told me he was going to give me a book about Augustus he highly recommended. It was part congratulations on the class, part birthday present, my birthday being the 25th. That was to be the 28th for our last class meeting, I'd be going to Italy for the summer on the 31st, being motivated by the stories he'd tell me of his travels there. He passed away on the 27th. I was told that there was never any book about Augustus found in his office, so it was presumably in his home library, which had a 700+ page catalogue and years later still hasn't been sorted out. I was never able to go to either.
