«Tom Holland's excellent new study of the fall of the Republic... re-evaluating Rome for a new generation»
Robert Harris, Sunday Times
«This is the best one-volume narrative history of the 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
