Quote:Just finished Tom Holland's Rubicon. A really exciting read. It depicts the end of the Republic with sections on earlier history and chapters on Marius and Sulla etc... For a non-fiction book it reads like a fast paced novel, often a rare thing in a non fiction book. I recommend it wholeheartedly..
I was recommended this book by my Class Civ teacher and it was in my opinion the most interesting non-fiction book I've ever read. It reads like a story albeit an informative one. It entertains as well as informs so it isn't too heavy like some non-fiction books but it still gives a good incite to the "Triumph and Tragedy of the Roman Republic".
