Roma Soy Yo

The second part of the sweeping biography of Julius Caesar titled “Rome, Cursed City” covers the period from Caesar’s exile to the Gallic invasion. During these two decades, Caesar leads a busy life full of political and military events as well as personal intrigues. He is captured by pirates and freed, studies the art of oratory in Rhodes, returns home to crush Spartacus’s uprising, enters the Senate, and witnesses Catiline’s conspiracy. He forms a triumvirate to strengthen his power, conquers Lusitania, makes new friends and enemies. At this time, his ally—and later enemy—Pompey defeats Sertorius in Spain, destroys the pirates, then heads East with ambitious plans and returns to Rome in triumph. Meanwhile, in Egypt, Cleopatra is born and grows up, but for now the event goes unnoticed. Santiago Posteguillo, known for his bestselling books with a total circulation of over 4.5 million copies, continues his grand project. The second book combines an adventure saga, a political thriller, and descriptions of military campaigns. Here Julius Caesar gains power and discovers its true cost, when Rome—which won’t accept negotiations and spares no one—demands from him what he cannot sacrifice.
