Roma: A Novel of Ancient Rome by Steven Saylor

2.0

Saylor copies [a:Edward Rutherfurd|16204|Edward Rutherfurd|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1206127588p2/16204.jpg]'s idea of telling the history of a city or a nation by tracing one family. The problem is, he isn't as good as Rutherfurd is. Most of the characters, especially the women, are one dimensional. In addition, he makes Cleopatra boring. That's hard.
