«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
«Holland has the rare gift of making deep scholarship accessible and exciting. A brilliant and completely absorbing study»
A.N Wilson, author of The Victorians
«The only way to kindle the interest of a new generation in the Greek and Roman world... Holland paints a vivid social portrait of the Roman World»
Max Hastings, Sunday Telegraph
«A modern, well-paced and finely observed history which entertains as it informs.»
