Books mentioning conquest of Raetia?

[gilius]

I've checked all my books on Roman history, yet hardly any of them mention Raetia, conquered by 2 brothers--Tiberius and Drusus--in a pincer attack. This happened in the reign of Augustus, and Raetia became a Roman provice in the same year (15 BC).

Please check your library! Does anyone know any good books that mention the Raetian conquest in more than a sentence? Ideally I would like a book on the Roman Empire (or late Republic) that talks about Raetia and the brothers or a good book about Roman Switzerland, or about the Emperor Augustus.

Haven't found a single biography on Augustus that mentions the conquest of the Alps!

I've had to give away several expensive books I thought were good to charity shops because they are sadly inadequate!

...well maybe Goldsworthy new book on Augustus will mention Raetia?
