The Battle for Rome is the second of Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series of novels, first published in 1991 (under the title The Grass Crown). The last decades of the existence of the Roman Republic. Far beyond its borders, the stamped step of the legions of Rome shakes the foundations of the great states and plunges into dust their until recently powerful rulers. But even within the borders of the Republic itself, there is unrest: internal strife and uprisings threaten to undermine political stability. Gaius Marius, the illustrious conqueror of Germany and Numidia, who is aging and ill, is looking forward to the seventh consular term predicted many years ago, unprecedented in the history of Rome. Mariy is ready to step on the heads, because to get the coveted prize is possible only by beating the unprincipled ambitious and schemers of the new formation. But the long-awaited triumph threatens a confrontation with a new and perhaps the most dangerous rival - Lucius Cornelius Sulla, burning with a thirst for power, once the right hand of Gaius Marius.
