Masters of Rome<\/span> \u00a0is a popular series by Colleen McCullough. If you like to read about the many famous personalities that lived in the Roman Republic, then you\u2019ll probably like Colleen McCullough\u2019s books. Her books focus on people like Julius Caesar, Mark Antony and a little bit of Octavian. I particularly like the section of her books that contain her own personal notes on why she portrayed the character the way she did. Some people have criticized her choice to glorify certain characters like Julius Caesar. This isn\u2019t a fair criticism because this is fiction, so if they wanted a balanced representation of a historical figure, they should have consulted a biographical book on Caesar.<\/p>\n Imperium<\/span> was written by Robert Harris. Imperium<\/span> is a story about Cicero told through the viewpoint of his secretary. I really respect Robert Harris\u2019s choice to write a novel about Cicero. Most authors who set their story in ancient Rome have written about historical figures like Julius Caesar or some major general of ancient Rome. However, Harris picked a non-general\/soldier as a historical figure, and to top it off, the novel is still gripping and addictive. The other reason why I like this novel is because Harris used old sources pertaining to Cicero\u2019s character as a way to represent Cicero in the most accurate light possible, but he still manages to keep the reading fairly interesting and relevant.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/latin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2011\/02\/Saylor_roman_blood.jpg\")
