Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Rome was first ruled by kings, then became a republic. But in the end, after conquering the world, the Republic collapsed. Rome was drowned in blood. So terrible were the civil wars that the Roman people finally came to welcome the rule of an autocrat who could give them peace. 'Augustus,' their new master called himself: 'The Divinely Favoured One'.The lurid glamour of the dynasty founded by Augustus has never faded. No other family can compare for sheer unsettling fascination with its gallery of leading characters. Tiberius, the great general who ended up a bitter recluse, notorious for his perversions; Caligula, the master of cruelty and humiliation who rode his chariot across the sea; Agrippina, the mother of Nero, manoeuvring to bring to power the son who would end up having her murdered; Nero himself, racing in the Olympics, marrying a eunuch, and building a pleasure palace over the fire-gutted centre of his capital.Now, in the sequel to Rubicon, Tom Holland gives a dazzling portrait of Rome's first imperial dynasty. DYNASTY traces the full astonishing story of its rule of the world: both the brilliance of its allure, and the blood-steeped shadows cast by its crimes. Ranging from the great capital rebuilt in marble by Augustus to the dank and barbarian-haunted forests of Germany, it is populated by a spectacular cast: murderers and metrosexuals, adulterers and druids, scheming grandmothers and reluctant gladiators. DYNASTY is the portrait of a family that transformed and stupefied Rome. A masterful history of Rome's first imperial dynasty by the award-winning author of Rubicon, Persian Fire and In the Shadow of the Sword.

Softcover. Condizione: As New. This surging narrative offers a brilliant synthesis of ancient sources, making it a must-read for anyone interested in history, politics, or human nature. Rome transitioned from kings to a republic, ultimately collapsing into civil wars so brutal that the populace welcomed an autocrat promising peace. Augustus, the "Divinely Favoured One," established a dynasty that continues to captivate with its unsettling characters. Tiberius, once a celebrated general, became a bitter recluse known for his vices; Caligula, infamous for cruelty, famously rode his chariot across the sea; Agrippina, mother of Nero, schemed to elevate her son who would later have her murdered; and Nero himself, a figure of excess, indulged in the Olympics and constructed a pleasure palace over the ruins of a devastated city. In this sequel to Rubicon, the author presents a dazzling portrait of Rome's first imperial dynasty, capturing both its allure and the dark shadows of its crimes. The narrative spans from the marble grandeur of Augustus's capital to the barbarian-haunted forests of Germany, featuring a spectacular cast of characters: murderers, metrosexuals, adulterers, druids, scheming grandmothers, and reluctant gladiators. It is a vivid portrayal of a family that transformed and stupefied Rome.…
