Good story but spoiled somewhat by lacking any historical accuracy
I found it a bit odd and annoying that the author pays no or little regard to the historical record - particularly as the records we have leave lots of gaps and therefore leave room for a story teller to get creative. For example, Marius didn’t have a legion with him to defend Rome and had a son. Roman society norms aren’t that well adhered to, either. Simon Scarrow’s novels are far better in that they don’t unnecessarily diverge from the historical record (such as it is) even though his protagonists are fictitious.

Well written and read
Another rollicking history based novel from a consistently impressive author. Well imagined early life of Julius Caesar.

Riveting Roman saga
Bit of a coming of age but in a calculating and clinical manner as you would expect from the hotbed of Roman politics. Excellent story that kept me engaged all the way through

A story of Julius Caesar’s youth.
I liked this book immensely. I am a huge fan of the author, Conn Iggulden. The story gets better and better,
For anyone who is a fan of ancient history, this man makes it come alive. All the characters are believable. I laughed, I cried, I was in awe of Rome.
The narrator, Robert Glenister takes on each character with with skill.
Read and enjoy!

History Alive
Wonderful details that allows for vivid imagination to immerse in the story. Impressed how the reader could voice and play each character.

A must read
Iggulden is a great author and this book is a great read. I’m so glad the story is not over yet and I have many more in this series yet to devour.
