Tom Holland&#8217;s enthralling account tells the story of Caesar&#8217;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, <i>Rubicon </i>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. 87825 book 2003 Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic total:492|5:171|4:212|3:87|2:19|1:3| 492 2005 770 93 5 1 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jan 18 20:33:47 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 20:59:02 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 08:58:06 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 09:41:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 21:44:04 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 22:06:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Nov 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Oct 25 22:26:28 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 04 15:36:52 -0800 2009
