Description

In 49 B.C., the seven-hundred fifth-year because the beginning of Rome, Julius Caesar entered a little edge river called the Rubicon and plunged Rome into cataclysmic civil war. Ben Holland’s enthralling account tells the tale of Caesar’s era, experience for the twilight of the Republic and its soft change into an empire. From Cicero, Brutus, and Spartacus, to Cleopatra, Augustus, and Virgil, here are a few of the very renowned figures ever brought thrillingly alive. Mixing verve and quality with meticulous fund, Rubicon isn't just an engrossing record of the critical period but a distinctly resonant symbol of the great culture in most its extremes of self-sacrifice and competition, decadence and disaster, interest, conflict, and earth-moving goal.
