****

First class research, first class recreation of an alien culture. Her Caesar is a super-man, whose passions, intellect and temperament are quite unbelievable. She describes him as possessing terrific charm, and her character does possess that charm, so that you do believe in him, and sympathize with him, and cheer for him.

Part of the Masters of Rome series, which cover the end of the republic from Marius to Antony, 110 BC to the Battle of Actium in 31.
