Hardback. Condizione: Good. The final years of the Roman Republic are usually recounted from the top, through the eyes and ideals of the big winners and losers: Brutus, Mark Antony, Cleopatra, Octavian. The Last Assassin tells a different story: how the lesser men lived with the greater, how Caesar's many killers were hunted down by his would-be successors, and how, after an initial amnesty, they were prosecuted, tortured, and killed. Peter Stothard's latest work follows the life of Cassius of Parma, who was the last of Caesar's assassins to be captured and killed, fourteen years after the Ides of March. His name does not appear in history books, except as an academic footnote. He is only distantly related to that more famous Cassius (Gaius) to whom Shakespeare gave that "lean and hungry look." He is in the back row of the plotters, maybe as many as eighty, many of them Caesar's friends, who killed to prevent a tyranny, amongst many other reasons. For these fourteen years, Cassius Parmensis watched from the wings as all the killers of Caesar died. He took part in parts of the civil wars which are often neglected. He was a poet whose work survives in a single line, and a playwright whose work was said to have been stolen by and published by the man sent to kill him. He was a man of the Roman navy, never the senior service, who chose every side in the Empire's civil wars except the winning one. He ridiculed the future emperor in verse and foresaw his own death in a dream.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Many men killed Julius Caesar. Only one man was determined to kill the killers. From the spring of 44 BC through one of the most dramatic and influential periods in history, Caesar's adopted son, Octavian, the future Emperor Augustus, exacted vengeance on the assassins of the Ides of March, not only on Brutus and Cassius, immortalized by Shakespeare, but all the others too, each with his own individual story. The last assassin left alive was one of the lesser-known: Cassius Parmensis was a poet and sailor who chose every side in the dying Republic's civil wars except the winning one, a playwright whose work was said to have been stolen and published by the man sent to kill him. Parmensis was in the back row of the plotters, many of them Caesar's friends, who killed for reasons of the highest political principles and lowest personal piques. For fourteen years he was the most successful at evading his hunters but has been barely a historical foot note--until now. The Last Assassin dazzlingly charts an epic turn of history through the eyes of an unheralded man. It is a history of a hunt that an emperor wanted to hide, of torture and terror, politics and poetry, of ideas and their consequences, a gripping story of fear, revenge, and survival. Julius Caesar was assassinated in the Roman Senate on March 15th, 44 BCE. For the next fourteen years, his killers were hunted down and murdered in turn. This is their story, one of ordinary men's motives at an extraordinary time, of ambitions, dreams, ideas, dizzying transformation in politics, desperate fear, and how to keep fear at bay.
