Caesar's Women cover

PART OF THE ACCLAIMED MASTERS OF ROME SERIES

Tells the story of Gaius Julius Caesar's relentless rise to prominence, beginning with his return to Rome in 68 BC. He comes prepared to dominate a new battlefield - the Roman Forum. But his victories are not limited to the Forum: he also conquers Rome's noble women.

Book four in the epic Masters of Rome series.

Rome. 68 BC. Julius Caesar has proved himself a brilliant general. But when he returns to Rome he lays down arms only to take up another battle: this time for political power. This is a war waged with words, plots, schemes, metaphotical assassinations - but also with seduction and guile.

Love is just another weapon in Caesar's political arsenal, for the key to political glory lies with Rome's noblewomen: powerful, vindictive Servilia, whose son Brutus deeply resents his mother's passionate, destructive relationhshiop with Caesar; Rome's revered Vestal Virgins; and even Caesar's own daughter, sacrificed on the altar of his ambition.

It is a powerful story, and McCullough tells it with the verve of a novelist and the commitment of a historian * Sunday Times *
