Title: Glaring historical inaccuracies
Product review: Although this book and the others in the series are supposedly historical novels, an author cannot play fast and loose with history. The author makes Caesar's mother mentally unstable as well as epileptic. He makes Brutus an orphan on the estate--except for the mother who abandoned him because she's a prostitute. Caesar gets to kill Mithradites--although Pompey really did. He has Marius killed by Pompey in a barricaded Rome! How could you believe any insight that Iggulden has into Caesar's character when he recreates historical fact?
