Review title: Well-written history of the Republic's demise
Product review: This is a very rare book: an excellent retelling of the Roman Republic's demise within the context of one of it's last great orators and politician, Marcus Cicero.The writing style is very concise, while staying away from dry language. Cicero is displayed in all his greatness and timidity (especially his well-known fear of physical harm). It's remarkable how much Cicero wrote about his life and times. Besides completing his political and philosophical books, Cicero found - it seems - an enormous amount of time to write personal letters to friends. The majority of the facts around this time in Roman history is transmitted through Cicero.This history is highly recommended for the beginner and intermediate Roman history buff. Many of that time period's famous historical figures, incluing Caesar and Antony, are vividly brought to life.
