This book is the sequel to "The First Man in Rome" and proves that a sequel can be just as good as the first. The characters are so vivid that if you saw them on the street, you would immediately recognize them. Another great aspect of this book is the use of Latin - you will learn so much about our language by seeing the origins of words in actual use. While this book can be enjoyed without reading the first book in McCullough's Rome series, I suggest that you read them in order. The histories of the characters will provide more insight and interest as you read through the remaining books. Feel free to email with questions. ~LeAnn
