Book Reviews of First Man in Rome (Masters of Rome)
Book Review: fascinating book with a little-known hero
Summary: 5 Stars
Some periods of history and some characters are well-visited by novelists. The hero of this novel, which is very long and yet not too long by any means, is someone few of us will have heard of, the late Roman Republic general Marius, uncle of the famous Julius Caesar and formative in his character. This period of history is little known, its politics and events are very complex, yet McCullough manages to make them no only understandable but interesting. Her research is meticulous and her detail absolutely correct, so for someone who is a bit of a pedant about historical accuracy this book was a joy.
