The Roman Republic was the most remarkable state in history. What began as a small community of peasants camped among marshes and hills ended up ruling the known world. 'Rubicon' paints a vivid portrait of the Republic at the climax of its greatness - the same greatness which would bring about the catastrophe of its fall.

And most extraordinary of all is the story of the Republic itself. Tom Holland brings to life this strange and unsettling civilisation, with its extremes of ambition and self-sacrifice, bloodshed and desire. Yet alien as it may seem, the Republic still holds up a mirror to us. Its citizens were obsessed by celebrity chefs, all-night dancing and exotic pets; they fought elections in law courts and were addicted to spin; they toppled foreign tyrants in the name of self-defence.

Two thousand years have passed, but we remain the Romans' heirs.
