The True Story of Julius Caesar
The year 77 BC, ancient Rome. The cruel Senator Dolabella is to be tried for corruption. But he hired the best lawyers, bribed the court, and is not afraid to use violence against anyone who opposes him. No one dares to play the role of the plaintiff in a court case. Suddenly, however, a young patrician, barely twenty-three years old, appears on the scene, determined to challenge the powerful elites to a duel.
His name is Gaius Julius Caesar.
The first part of the trilogy by popular Spanish author Santiago Posteguillo, entitled Rome is Me, tells a captivating story about Caesar' s childhood and youth up until the moment when he faces the powerful Dolabella in court. Some consider him a brave Roman citizen, others a fool and a suicide.
Readers will witness not only dramatic historical events, but also the intimate story of the future great man' s true love for Cornelia, the daughter of senator and consul Lucius Cornelius Cinna. The author will guide us through Roman realities, customs and lifestyle, behind-the-scenes intrigues and political twists of ancient Rome in an engaging way.
