The Roman Republic was the most remarkable state in history. What began as a small community of peasants camped among marshes & hills ended up ruling the known world. Rubicon paints a vivid portrait of the Republic at the climax of its greatness
- the same greatness which would herald the catastrophe of its fall. It is a story of incomparable drama. This was the century of Julius Caesar, the gambler whose addiction to glory led him to the banks of the Rubicon, & beyond; of Cicero, whose defence of freedom would make him a byword for eloquence; of Spartacus, the slave who dared to challenge a superpower; of Cleopatra, the queen who did the same. Tom Holland brings to life this strange & unsettling civilization, with its extremes of ambition & self-sacrifice, bloodshed & desire. Yet alien as it was, the Republic still holds up a mirror to us. Its citizens were obsessed by celebrity chefs, all-night dancing & exotic pets; they fought elections in law courts & were addicted to spin; they toppled foreign tyrants in the name of self-defence. Two thousand years may have passed, but we remain the Romans` heirs.

A rich mix of Celtic, Norse, Scandinavian, Anglo-Saxon, French & Latin have made the English language a gift to poets & writers. However, the nuances & double meanings so favoured by creative writers have also led to a number of very rude place names. Rude Britain is a compilation of 100 of the best & rudest place names, each one photographed & explained by authors Rob Bailey & Ed Hurst. From streets such as Fanny Avenue, Willey Lane, Titty Ho & Asshouse Lane to a village called Cocks; Great Britain throws up a wealth of odd names that have somehow been overlooked by the nation.
