Description
A masterful account of the first wicked century of the Roman Empire, Dynasty weaves together the history of ancient Rome with the narrative of the Julio-Claudian family. Tom Holland's skillful storytelling brings to life the founding myths, the fall of the republic, and the complex web of superstitions that defined the era.
This is a formidable effort to compile what we can know about the ancient world, and a sensational story that recounts with pleasure the darker aspects of human nature, including psychopathic cruelty, incest, and depravity. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in history, politics, or human nature, Dynasty is a wonderful, surging narrative that has never been better told.
