A Friend of Caesar: A Tale of the Fall of the Roman Republic - as someone who really enjoyed all the First Man in Rome series of books by Colleen McCullough, I was keenly looking forward to this book, and was very much overjoyed with it. While it is a work of fiction, and the story, dialogue, and structure are perfect, the historical facts and perspective are very reliable, as the author was a university professor, specializing in this period. I also liked reading how the religion of Rome played a part in their lives, how the pagan religions of the times influenced the men and women, and one can see the early roots of Christianity growing - I very much enjoyed reading this very well-written and well-researched book and can warmly recommend it for lovers of historical novels about the Roman Empire
