Julius Caesar crosses the Rubicon and turns his political struggle with Pompey and the Senate into civil war. As the conflict moves from Italy to Greece and Egypt, Caesar’s victories make him the dominant figure in Rome, while Brutus is divided between personal loyalty and fear of dictatorship. The novel follows the defeat of Pompey, Caesar’s alliance with Cleopatra, his return to supreme power and the conspiracy that culminates in his assassination on the Ides of March.
