Rome, March 15, 44 BC, Caesar has just been savagely killed in one of the highest places of power! Having reached the summit of the State after having eliminated all his enemies, the dictator refused to believe the omens that announced his imminent death. Betrayed by men in whom he had made the mistake of placing his trust, such as Brutus – to whom, however, he never said, as is so often believed, the famous words Tu quoque mi fili , Caesar was stabbed in the middle of an assembly.
As death stalks, tempers flare, heads roll: far from putting an end to the troubles of the time, this assassination leads to many other equally bloody murders, such as that of Cicero. These are the episodes recounted in this volume, the last in a trilogy that began with Ave, Caesar!, retracing Caesar's early life, and continued with Caesar contra Gallos , devoted to the Gallic Wars.
Become a witness, in French and Latin, to a fascinating and founding period of History.
