Rome is divided once again, and Caesar is dead. Lepidus is in Africa, Antony rules the East, Octavian the West, and with it Rome. Two heirs apparent to the throne of Rome. Cleopatra has her eye on Rome too, and uses her charm to ensnare Antony, but Octavian also has the cunning of a special woman, Livia Drusilla, to help him weave his way through Roman politics. A detailed and convincing portrayal of intrigue at the heart of power, set against the backdrop of the Republic’s final days.
