Rubicon by Tom Holland Book Summary

A vivid historical account of the social world of Rome as it moved from republic to empire. In 49 B.C., the seven hundred fifth year since the founding of Rome, Julius Caesar crossed a small border river called the Rubicon and plunged Rome into cataclysmic civil war. Tom Holland’s enthralling account tells the story of Caesar’s generation, witness to the twilight of the Republic and its bloody transformation into an empire. From Cicero, Spartacus, and Brutus, to Cleopatra, Virgil, and Augustus, here are some of the most legendary figures in history brought thrillingly to life. Combining verve and freshness with scrupulous scholarship, Rubicon is not only an engrossing history of this pivotal era but a uniquely resonant portrait of a great civilization in all its extremes of self-sacrifice and rivalry, decadence and catastrophe, intrigue, war, and world-shaking ambition.

Rubicon. This book is a real tour de force. The comprehensive scope of the narrative is remarkable. It has the documentation to back up its assertions. However, the depth and breath of the author’s narrative has such a fluid feel. I particularly enjoyed his synthesis of the interplay of the foundational Roman values which underlay their traditional and deeply conservative society. I enjoyed it immensely, and recommend it highly.

Very thorough. I loved the book!

Phenomenal. Buy this book, it's gripping and entertaining as it is educational and philosophical.

Rubicon. Couldn't put it down! Well researched and well written. Thanks! Dr. James R. Appleton

Wonderful. The perfect narrative and background for Romanofiles who want an entertaining read about the late republic.
