I don't claim to be an expert on Roman history, but something about this book shoved me far beyond my ability to suspend my disbelief. I'm not quite sure what exactly it was - maybe it was just a bunch of little things that built up over time.

I don't know, maybe I should reread the second half for better judgement, but for me it was not convincing or believable. Both the plot and the love story - which, of cou...
Outstanding Book... Definitely up in my top 5 books of the year, It is one of those exceptional reads that 5 stars does not do justice to the wonders contained within.
