Publisher's Summary
Discover the runaway #1 international bestseller that has captured readers and listeners the world over―and reminds us all why we remember the name Julius Caesar.
“Posteguillo shows just how thrilling a historical novel can be.”―El País
Every legend has a beginning . . .
Rome, 77 B.B. The corrupt Senator Dolabella is about to go on trial for his crimes.
But Dolabella owns the jury. He’s hired the best lawyers in the city. And he’s very willing to use violence against those who oppose him.
In all of Rome, no man dares accept the role of prosecutor—until, against all odds, an unknown twenty-three-year-old steps out to lead the case, defend the people of the city, and defy the power of the ruling elite.
That lawyer’s name is Gaius Julius Caesar.
So begins Santiago Posteguillo’s acclaimed masterpiece of historical fiction―a tale as epic as Caesar’s life itself. An irresistible novel of politics and betrayal, grand battles and impossible odds, shocking villainy and even greater acts of courage, I Am Rome brilliantly animates the moments that shaped this extraordinary young man’s fate—and in so doing, changed the course of history itself.

a fantastic story that does history and fiction justice
I have been waiting for a book on Julius Caesar that could balance history and fiction. While I would have liked this to be from his perspective I do like the way it was presented with multiple narrators including Caesar himself. I eagerly await for the next book in the series which based on his other works may be a trilogy (though I do not see how all of Caesars history can be crammed into a trilogy.) I would like this author to take his time and keep this same pace with the rest of the series. focusing on certain points in time keeps the book alive and the pacing steady. I would recommend this book to anyone with a love of history, Julius Caesar, Rome, or just a good damn read in general.
