Quote:Just finished Tom Holland's Rubicon. A really exciting read. It depicts the end of the Republic with sections on earlier history and chapters on Marius and Sulla etc... For a non-fiction book it reads like a fast paced novel, often a rare thing in a non fiction book. I recommend it wholeheartedly..I'll have to pick it up, I've been debating buying this one for a week or so now.
