Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, set in the decisive years at the decline of the Roman Republic, tells the story of Drusus, a wealthy scion caught in the midst of the era's political turmoil and changing social mores. Following the author's travels through the Roman elite's opulent world, the reader is confronted by the contradictions of a society both brilliant and corrupt. At the time, the Republic's morality was challenged on all sides as the old guard and their values were forcibly replaced by a corrupt class forcing their way into noble ranks through bribery and manipulation. The author does a remarkable job exposing inner workings of a state on the brink of collapse, and of the struggle between the idealistic and cynical within its highest ranks. The author's insights into the period provide a new understanding of Roman history and the personalities that shaped our world.
