DOWNLOAD EBOOKAt the age of 15, Julius Caesar was given a tutor of rhetoric by the name of Marcus Antonius Gnipho, who prepared him for a career in politics. Gnipho became more than a tutor when he helped Caesar escape a death warrant issued by the reigning dictator and nursed him through a deadly fever. He accompanied Caesar into the legions and helped him conclude a diplomatic mission that resulted in Caesar becoming the admiral of a fleet and a decorated warrior in a land battle. Gnipho was so impressed by Caesar that he wondered what it was about Roman culture that created such courageous men who became successful warriors and brilliant politicians. He explored the many influences that shaped the character of Julius Caesar, whose legend intrigues us even today. This is the book he might have written and could have written.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe present collection of articles is devoted to one of the most famous figures of Roman history. For centuries now, Mark Antony has attracted the attention of not only historians, but also pop culture artists, mainly due to his fascinating life. The origin of his legend is also one of the major issues, on which the attention of the collection's authors have focused. [...] The contributions which constitute the collection shed light on these aspects of Mark Antony's career and legend which do not usually fall within the areas of interest of authors of classic versions of this remarkable and controversial politican's biography. Similarly to an earlier publication devoted to Sulla, the reviewed collection will be valuable complementary contribution to the history of the last generation of the Roman Republic. The fact that this undertaking employed representatives of various scientific fields of study (historians, philologists, and archeologists) will certainly have an impact on its cohesion. One the other hand, however, it seems that this is a price worth paying for the opportunity to look at the history of Rome and Antony in so many different ways. The present collection of articles reviewed certainly deserves publication.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe epic story of one of the most famous love affairs in history, by the bestselling author of Caesar. ***** The monumental love affair between Antony and Cleopatra has been depicted in countless novels, plays and films. As one of the three men in control of the Roman Empire, Antony was perhaps the most powerful man of his day. And Cleopatra, who had already been Julius Caesar's lover, was the beautiful queen of Egypt, Rome's most important province. The clash of cultures, the power politics, and the personal passion have proven irresistible to storytellers. But in the course of this storytelling dozens of myths have grown up. The popular image of Cleopatra in ancient Egyptian costume is a fallacy; she was actually Greek. Despite her local dominance in Egypt, her real power came from her ability to forge strong personal allegiances with the most important men in Rome. Likewise, Mark Antony was not the bluff soldier of legend, brought low by his love for an exotic woman - he was first and foremost a politician, and never allowed Cleopatra to dictate policy to him. In this history, based exclusively on ancient sources and archaeological evidence, Adrian Goldsworthy gives us the facts behind this famous couple and dispels many myths.

However, Caesar is an exacting general, demanding complete allegiance from his staff, even when his decisions put him at odds with the Senate.

As civil war brings Rome's Republic crashing down, many a relationship is torn asunder, including Marcus's marriage. Determined to rise triumphant in Rome's new era, Marcus faces his fears, his failures, and his enemies--not the least of whom is himself. Amid the crisis of the Ides of March, Marcus must don the mantle of ruthlessness to carve his own legacy in Rome's history. Enemies have been made, wills have been read, and heirs proclaimed. But in Rome's civil unrest, blood answers only to blood.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCicero-lawyer, politician, philosopher, former consul of the Roman Republic, and man on the run. Just a year after the assassination of the dictator Julius Caesar, Mark Antony and Caesar's adopted son have allied, sealing their friendship with names given up to each other's hit men. At the top of Antony's list-Marcus Tullius Cicero. With Cicero flees Leonidas, a longtime slave of the great statesman's household. On the morning of Cicero's last day, Leonidas anticipates a reunion with Clementia, whom he hopes to marry, if only their master lives long enough to free them. But assassins are closing in, the last escape routes are closing, despairing allies have killed themselves, and not everyone Cicero trust may be loyal. The Last Day of Marcus Tullius Cicero is a riveting, vividly realized historical novella from Jordan M. Poss, author of the novel No Snakes in Iceland.
