The Assassination of Julius Caesar

Parenti provides an interesting and fresh perspective on Julius Caesar. Instead of painting Ceasar in the usual fashion, a power hungry dictator, Parenti offers an image of Caesar as an individual committed to popular reform. In doing so, Parenti also provides an incredibly captivating social history of Rome, placing the common people at the center. This book provides a wonderful history of the Roman Republic, its people, and its finals days.
