Julia, the daughter of Emperor Augustus, brought to life in the historical novel by Rosita Steenbeek | review

Not everyone will ring a bell when they hear the name Julia, daughter of Emperor Augustus, who lived around the beginning of our era. In the historical novel Julia, Rosita Steenbeek brings her back to life. This ‘free-spirited emperor’s daughter’ – as the subtitle reads – seems to have almost completely disappeared from historiography, but it was written by men.
