A review by megami
Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar by Tom Holland
4.0
Yet another fantastic book from Holland (I am yet to find something written by him that is less than excellent), this one is a history of the end of the Roman Republic and a biography of the 'emperors' (and if you read the book you will understand what that is in quote marks) from Augustus to Nero.
As with his other book Holland manages to include just enough detail to keep you engaged without feeling the need to cram every bit of research in to show how clever he is or how much work he did researching his book. It is a detailed and informative piece but is still an easy and entertaining read. Everything you could want.
