Reseñas

Published in 1854, this dated work sets forth biographies of six of Republican Rome's greatest generals, including Caesar, Marius, Sulla and Scipio Africanus. Each biography is at best a brief summary, and at worst offers the author's subjective viewpoints which are highly questionable and detract from the overall quality of the book. Given its age, this work is now part of the public domain and can be accessed free of charge online.

A worthwhile read for enthusiasts- others looking for an introduction into these fascinating historical figures are best advised to look to more modern works.… (más)

Written in the mid 19th century, volume one of this forgotten work of historical fiction is well researched and provides an interesting account of the beginnings of the infamous conspiracy of Catiline.

On the positive, the author paints a detailed picture of life in 1st century BCE Republican Rome. Unfortunately, the author's writing style is sometimes verbose to the point of tediousness. Nonetheless, the actual story line is quite good and worth the effort.
