Today marks 2,061 years since Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon and changed the course of history for the Roman Empire and began his journey to becoming Emperor.
I have always been fascinated with Rome and I stumbled onto these books a few years ago. They are a fictionalised novelization of Julius Caesar's life from a young man right through to his eventual death. Whilst I normally read thrillers I do stray outside the genre from time to time and these books are among the most thrilling books I've ever read. The books will make you will feel like a centurion on the front lines of the legion or a senator sitting in the benches listening to the oratory of Crassus or even a plebian watching the Triumph of Marius.
If you want a rip roaring series set in the cauldron of Ancient Rome check out this series, you won't be disappointed.
