Synopsis
The final decades of the Roman Republic are told through the eyes of Julius Caesar as his meteoric rise, a series of military triumphs, and an escalating rivalry with Pompey lead him toward a decision that would change Rome forever. Tom Holland's sweeping narrative traces the political intrigue, personal ambition, and brutal violence that tore apart one of history's most storied republics.
