Giulio Cesare

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. "I would rather be first in this village than second in Rome." This is the conviction of the man who didn't just rule an empire—he invented the shape of power. From the dangerous alleys of the Subura to the sacred heights of the Capitol , Julius Caesar’s life was a masterclass in absolute ambition and strategic genius. In this volume of the GIANTS — A Lifetime in Hours series, author Grant Weston strips away the myth to reveal the human core of history’s most influential leader.
