About This Book
“The sweep and splendor of the Roman past blazes anew in this mighty story of Cicero and the Republic he fought to save.” “Unfolded here in rich detail are the private dramas behind the great Roman hero's triumphs and defeats—and the intimate, deeply moving story of his desperate love affair with the beautiful Livia.”
