Publisher's Synopsis
At times ironic and informal, this demythologising book recounts the last 90 years of the Roman Republic. It is a story built not as a list of facts, but around men whose deeds belong to such a distant past that it seems they never existed. And yet these men lived, breathed, hated, loved, and fought for their convictions with strength and courage. It is a story about the greatness of heroes, known or forgotten, who had only one dream: Rome.
