A review by william_gwynne
Imperium: A Novel of Ancient Rome by Robert Harris
Just finished this renowned historical fiction trilogy about the famous figure of Cicero, who operated during a time of almost unparalleled change within the Ancient Roman Empire. One of those periods I've always had a great interest in, yet simultaneously know almost nothing about.
Featuring names that have echoed down the ages such as Caesar, Crassus, Pompey and more, this is a book that is largely political with action not at the forefront, yet the tension is rife throughout this tale, and it feels epic in scale, as you know the consequences of the results of these events will effect all who fall within the realms of the Roman Empire.
A thoroughly enjoyable read!
