Caesar and Brutus. Marius and Sulla. Cicero, Antony, Clodius, and Augustus. The end of the Roman Republic gave us a host of larger-than-life characters hailing from Rome. Only one was named Great. In the year 90 B.C.E., chaos and unrest erupts across the Italian peninsula. Rome's allies have rebelled and taken up arms against the most powerful military on Earth. Leading Rome's legions - and his only son - to the city's defense, an unproven and unloved commander will taste victory and defeat outside the capital's gates.

Julius Caesar was not just a general. He was not just a dictator. He was the rupture point between republic and empire, between mortal and myth. This is not a dry biography. This is a cinematic retelling of the man who allied with Cleopatra, defied the Senate, crossed the Rubicon, and built an empire. Through betrayal, ambition, war, and worship—Caesar shattered the systems that birthed him and became the blueprint for every ruler that followed. From the alleys of Rome to the halls of power, from the knives of the Ides to the comet that burned overhead, this book tells the real story.
