The Gates of Rome (2004)
I've been amazed by quite a few historical fiction already, but none of this specific genre. Rome is one of my favorite places ever since I was young. I aced my third year in high school where we had Greek, Roman, and Egyptian History. Those 3 are my main interest, kindly include Russian History ...
The Death of Kings (2005)
The second installment in the fictional biography of Julius Caesar as envisaged by Conn Iggulden has all the elements of a summer blockbuster.There is war, war, more war, a little bit of sex, war and some political intrigue as ingredients.

The Blood of Gods is the fifth (and final) entry in Conn Iggulden's acclaimed Emperor series and chronicles the immediate aftermath of The Ides of March, 44 BC. Octavian, the future Augustus and first emperor of Rome, has vowed ven...
Emperor: The Blood of Gods (2013)
6.5/10This had the feeling of a surprise party where the guest of honour fails to turn up. Fair play to Julius Caesar, he had an excuse to not be there with him being stabbed by the “Liberators” at the end of book 4 so it was obvious he would be missing but the story certainly lacked something fo...
