Politics hasn't changed
Imperium shows how politics in Ancient Rome wasn't so different to politics today. We follow Cicero from the viewpoint of Tiro, his slave and secretary, as Cicero, a man of humble origins seeks Imperium, to become a Roman consul. There is a lot of clever courtroom drama on the Field of Mars. Cicero though ambitious is principled and works tirelessly for those he represents. The book is well researched and an engaging read. Not having read much from this era, I was a little confused with all the lictors and praetors. There were also many famous historical figures including a young Julius Caesar, Crassus, Pompey, Hortensius and of course Cicero himself.

Berättelsen är för trögt och det är för mycket prat om ingenting. Sen förstår jag att det var lite så med senaten i Rom, men jag behöver ett driv för att orka läsa vidare.
Jag ger upp efter 54 sidor (= 15 %).
