Described by renowned author Ian McEwan as ’narrative history at its best’, Rubicon brings to life the last century of the Roman Republic, when Rome was transformed from a democratically run empire into one ruled by an emperor. With his extensive research and authoritative prose, Tom Holland has brought a fresh perspective to this dramatic era.

A gripping account of the twilight of the Roman Republic and its bloody transformation into empire, Tom Holland’s Rubicon is reimagined as a stunning Folio edition.
