Rome was first ruled by kings, then became a republic. But in the end, after conquering the world, the Republic collapsed. Rome was drowned in blood. So terrible were the civil wars that the Roman people finally came to welcome the rule of an autocrat who could give them peace. ` Augustus`, their new master called himself: ` The Divinely Favoured One`. The lurid glamour of the dynasty founded by Augustus has never faded. No other family can compare for sheer unsettling fascination with its gallery of leading characters. Tiberius, the great general who ended up a bitter recluse, notorious for his perversions; Caligula, the master of cruelty & humiliation who rode his chariot across the sea; Agrippina, the mother of Nero, manoeuvering to bring to power the son who would end up having her murdered; Nero himself, racing in the Olympics, marrying a eunuch, & building a pleasure palace over the fire-gutted centre of his capital. Now, in the sequel to Rubicon, Tom Holland gives a dazzling portrait of Rome`s first imperial dynasty. Dynasty traces the full astonishing story of its rule of the world: both the brilliance of its allure, & the blood-steeped shadows cast by its crimes. Ranging from the great capital rebuilt in marble by Augustus to the dank & barbarian-haunted forests of Germany, it is populated by a spectacular cast: murderers & metrosexuals, adulterers & druids, scheming grandmothers & reluctant gladiators. Dynasty is the portrait of a family that transformed & stupefied Rome. ...
