Reviews"This is the best one-volume narrative history of Rome between King Tarquin and Emperor Augustus I have ever read. The story of Rome's experiment with republicanism--peopled by such giants as Caesar, Pompey, Cato and Cicero--is told with perfect freshness, fine wit and true scholarship." --Andrew Roberts "Not since Ronald Syme'sThe Roman Revolutionhas there been such an original and enlivening piece of Roman history. Tom Holland has the rare gift of making deep scholarship accessible and exciting. A brilliant and completely absorbing study." --A.N.

SynopsisIn 49 B.C., the seven hundred fifth year since the founding of Rome, Julius Caesar crossed a small border river called the Rubicon and plunged Rome into cataclysmic civil war. Tom Holland' s enthralling account tells the story of Caesar' s generation, witness to the twilight of the Republic and its bloody transformation into an empire. From Cicero, Spartacus, and Brutus, to Cleopatra, Virgil, and Augustus, here are some of the most legendary figures in history brought thrillingly to life. Combining verve and freshness with scrupulous scholarship, "Rubicon "is not only an engrossing history of this pivotal era but a uniquely resonant portrait of a great civilization in all its extremes of self-sacrifice and rivalry, decadence and catastrophe, intrigue, war, and world-shaking ambition.
