Rome, 97 BC:

Gaius Marius is triumphant. Under his command, Rome has conquered the Western world, weathered invasion and crushed its enemies. There is just one prize left to him: an unprecedented seventh consulship.

But the greatest prize demands the highest price. Marius, now aging and ailing, is pitted against a new generation of assassins, power-seekers, and Senate intriguers. There are many who would like to see him fail, not least Lucius Cornelius Sulla, once his closest ally, now his most dangerous rival.

Sulla and Marius' contest can only be won through treachery and blood. As a deadly enmity engulfs both men and plunges them towards madness, Rome must fight its own battle for survival.

Aunque estos dos poderosos gobernantes orientales eventualmente declararían la guerra a Roma y matarían a miles de ciudadanos romanos, la trama de la novela se centra en la Guerra Social del 91 al 88 a.C., una guerra civil que Roma libró contra sus aliados italianos amotinados después de que se les negara la ciudadanía romana.

E' un vero peccato che questa serie sia relativamente poco conosciuta, rispetto al nostrano Manfredi, perché è un romanzo storico che, pur prendendosi le sue libertà, si sforza di mantenere il più possibile una grande accuratezza storica, ma, nonostante questo, riesce comunque mantenere una certa 'suspence'. Anche se storicamente ricordavo (più o meno nitidamente) come sarebbe finito un personaggio, quando incontrava delle difficoltà la domanda "e adesso come ne esce?" si manifestava lo stesso.

I personaggi principali sono figli del loro tempo, sufficientemente alieni per suscitare in me sufficiente voglia di prenderli a calci (Silla e Mario in egual misura), perché LO SO che il loro modo di pensare è romano

I problema principale è che in alcuni casi tende a diventare troppo 'spiegone storico/libro di testo' a discapito della storia, che perde improvvisamente di tensione. Mi sarebbe piaciuto che l'autrice avesse cercato di integrare un po' di più le informazioni al romanzo (e magari usato le note a piè pagina, leggere di due consoli romani che si spiegano a vicenda le funzioni delle varie toghe è un po' imbarazzante) e che, pur mantenendo un'impostazione corale del romanzo, avesse dedicato attenzioni particolari ad alcuni personaggi secondari: la storia romana è piena di personaggi con nomi molto simili, e in alcuni punti, quando alcuni di loro assumono importanza della storia mi sono resa conto che, essendo poco delineati, tendevo a perdermeli nelle maree di Catoni, Pompei, Marii, Ciceroni etc. ( )

Keenly researched. Such compelling, complicated story lines ... exactly my cup of tea, or rather, pots and pots of tea. ( )

A list of illustrations at the beginning essentially gives up the entire plot; reader beware, if your aim is to learn Roman history the fun way. I skipped past those and was subjected to an unlikely story full of traitors, massacres, madness and chaos that nobody would ever believe if the author wasn't so closely adhering to actual history. McCullough operates under some serious self-imposed constraints, the toughest being that she is forced to kill off her characters with the timing and manner of their actual deaths. That could be disastrous to the entertainment factor if not accounted for, and she accounts for it by making the right people sympathetic. Drusus unexpectedly became a new favourite of mine, and some earlier favourites less so.

The first book was good but I liked this sequel even better, probably because I had the correct expectations going in. The dialogue didn't feel as silly (even when it was silly), and the setting drew me in just as effectively despite her spending less time on it. There are sufficient events in this one volume to fill up two more of equal size, but McCullough has a schedule to keep and packs it all in, thick and fast - maybe a bit too fast in places, particularly during a certain complicated siege. In other places she can't help shoveling in more research than she strictly needs to. Several of Mithridates' scenes border on farce, especially his conversation with the high priest of Cos about the Egyptian royal family (the silliest dialogue bar none).

Good outweighs the bad, sewing everything together better than any textbook lesson can and placing the reader in all the best scenes at the right times, whether it's a battlefield or a dinner conversation. Possibly the closest thing to time travel back to this rough-and-tumble period that you're ever going to (or would ever want to) get. ( )
