realgnomidad 's review for:

3.0

If you dig ancient Rome, this is a slightly wonkish look at the mechanics of Roman politics and the legal system using stories from the real Cicero. A good read, full of technical detail that is well explained. Not TOO technical, but probably not for everyone. The book copy makes it seem like the most amazing thing that has ever been written about Rome, or anything at all for that matter. I respectfully submit that it is not, exactly, that.
