Dinastía

In this epic account of Rome's first imperial dynasty, Tom Holland traces the amazing story of the rise and fall of Augustus and his descendants. Dynasty takes the reader from Caesar's palace to the barbarous forests of Germania, in a story populated by ambitious politicians, fashionable poets, adulterers, druids, powerful women, palace intrigues and gladiators. The protagonists of this book they are Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero. They were the first five emperors of Rome and their names are still familiar to us two millennia later. Their excesses are legend, but they forged a state that remains in the Western imagination as the most perfect expression of the imperial idea.
