Augustus Caesar was by far the greater leader than Alexander. Alexander excelled in battle, but it is just as important to rule an empire after its initial conquest. Admittedly Alexander died young, before he had the chance to rule his conquest, but there is little to show he thought out how his lands were to be administered. Augustus, on the other hand, excelled in the administration of his rule, and ruled long enough,41 years, to establish norms and procedures that his imperial successors were able to use for centuries in ruling the Roman Empire. Every one of Rome’s best emperors, Claudius,Vespasian,Titus, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius, was inspired by the example set by Augustus to rule the Empire with justice and moderation, making the Roman Empire one of history’s most influential and important regimes, whose influence on the world is still felt to this day, even in something as common as the calendar. After all, we have a month named for Augustus(and Julius Caesar, too) and none for the Macedonian, so who is better remembered?"

First time i ever visited the site where i found this post. I don't think i would change one word this person typed.

Stonewall !!

@Sarek as well. If you guys haven’t read it, check out Rebel Yell. A hair dry in places but one of the best books I’ve read and it’s all Stonewall.

Off the top of my head that I haven’t seen mentioned yet, I’ll go with Sitting Bull. And yes, I’m glad Custer got what was coming to him.

Another great book and the best in my opinion on the Gettysburg Campaign is " Stars in their Courses " by Shelby Foote a great piece of narrative history.
He makes you feel like your at the battlefield all 3 days.

I'm kind of tired my friend but as much as I like Caesar I think Alexander out did him by a lot. But it's up for debate. Caesar lamented the fact that by 30 Alexander had conquered the known world and he had not even started.

If i had to live in one of their empire's i would much rather live under the rule of Augustus and the Pax Romana that followed. Alexander was great at winning battles. There is nothing that tells me that Alexander would have ruled his empire anywhere near the level Augustus could run his.

No doubt I agree with you there Alexander near the end was total strife and fighting between his best generals. Augustus and Rome had a very real stable empire.
I have read more on Rome than any other history and they are my favorite no doubt.

The best line in sports commentary ever. When Eric Bristow won a record number of world darts championships
"When Alexander of Macedonia was 33 he cried salt tears as there were no worlds left to conquer... Eric Bristows only 27!"

Without going into details which would be political she's not well liked in Scotland. Or in large areas of Wales or the north of England, particularly Liverpool, for that matter.
Let's just say there were plenty of bottles of champagne popped up here when the milk snatcher died.
