Rival ambitions threaten the future of ancient Rome

Rome has survived invasion and expanded its power, but the men who command its armies are increasingly drawn into a struggle for supremacy at home. Gaius Marius, celebrated as one of the Republic's greatest generals, is determined to prolong his political dominance. Lucius Cornelius Sulla, once his trusted ally, has ambitions of his own and the ability to become a formidable rival. Around them, family loyalties, marriages, personal grudges and political manoeuvres shape the fate of the Republic. Continuing the world established in The First Man in Rome, Colleen McCullough combines the public drama of war and power with the intimate lives of those caught within it, creating a broad portrait of a civilisation approaching crisis.
