El primer senador de Roma

In the middle of the second century BC, Rome is the maximum power in the Mediterranean after having defeated Hannibal's Carthage and the powerful kingdoms of Syria and Macedonia. However, despite their dominant position, nothing is enough for the members of the senatorial families, be they Scipios, Claudios, Fabios, Licinios, Fulvios or Sulpicios. Dragged by the desire to increase their prestige through military feats and obtaining the greatest number of honors and dignities, they do not hesitate to use intrigues, alliances and disloyalty to satisfy appetites and personal ambitions. It is the world, in the end, of emerging Scipio Emiliano and Appius Claudius Pulcro, or of young Tiberius and Gaius Sempronius Graco, grandsons of Scipio Africano and sons of Cornelia, the exemplary matron. It is also the time of an old and acidic Marco Porcio Cato, who in the throes of his life will make the famous "Carthago delenda est" famous. Carthage must be destroyed. This is the novel of all of them, this is the formidable History of Rome.
