Sometimes one person changes the course of history, becomes a legend during life, and after death - an unattainable role model. Sometimes truly epic characters are born in the world, and one of them is Julius Caesar, a multifaceted and complex figure, a defender of the people and a fighter against the elites, who turned into a dictator and paid with his life for his desire for power. However, in 77 BC. e. Rome does not yet know how important this young man will be for the state. And the unprincipled and cruel Senator Dolabella, the former governor of Macedonia, is not at all nervous as he prepares to stand trial: the seemingly inexperienced twenty-three-year-old prosecutor named Gaius Julius Caesar does not pose the slightest threat... Santiago Posteguillo, philologist and linguist, meticulous researcher and energetic storyteller, the author of historical bestsellers dedicated to the history of Ancient Rome, spent his whole life preparing to write a series about Julius Caesar. “I felt like I had to earn the right to write about him,” he says. Rome Is Me, a legal thriller that John Grisham would love and a colorful fresco in the best traditions of the historical novel, is the first book in the series, and it deals with a little-known episode of Caesar's biography. Here Caesar, still a young man, suffers defeats - and still emerges victorious, achieving the recognition of the masses for the first time. Here battles won two thousand years ago rage again, and orators come to life, competing in the eloquence from which we learn to this day. Here, the hearts of people whose biography is studied by schoolchildren and academics are again full of tenderness and passion, and the lives of those who fight for justice are again, as from time immemorial, in danger.
