Rated Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic 4/10

The book draws on a wide range of historical sources, which shows in the depth of its coverage. Yet, I found it hard to stay engaged. While I learned a lot, the sheer number of names and events made it feel more like a dense summary than a compelling narrative. I would have preferred a more focused look at a smaller set of key events.<br/><br/>Full review: https://puf.io/books/rubicon---tom-holland/<br/>All my reviews: https://puf.io/books
