A masterfully written book with that titan of history, Cicero, as the main character, A riveting read that helps to bring ancient Rome to life. Should be finished in one weekend methinks! This is a follow on read from Mary Beard's academically and engaging SPQR. Rome with all its weaknesses and faults in equal measure with its characters (Cicero for example) and ideas and beliefs that have echoed through the ages.
