I Am Rome AFTER JULIUS CAESAR, THE WORLD WAS NEVER THE SAME. If there was ever a man born to change the course of History, that was Julius Caesar. His legend, twenty centuries later, is more alive than ever. Rome, year 77 b.C. Cruel Senator Dolabella is about to be judged for corruption, but he has hired the best lawyers, has bought the jury, and, besides, is known for the use of violence against anyone who opposes him. No man dares accept the role of prosecutor, until all of a sudden and against all odds, a young Patrician of mere twenty-three years of age accepts to lead the case, defend the people of Rome, and defy the power of the elite class. This unknown lawyer’s name is Caius Julius Caesar. Masterfully combining an exhaustive historical rigor with extraordinary narrative skills, Santiago Posteguillo is able to submerge his readers in the thick of battle, make them walk through the most dangerous streets where the Senate’s henchmen lurk in every corner, live the great love story of Julius Caesar and Cornelia, his first wife, and finally understand the origins of the man behind the myth. There are characters that change the history of the world, but there are also moments that change the lives of such characters. I Am Rome tells the extraordinary events that marked Caesar’s fate. ___________________ Accursed Rome EXPERIENCE THE MOST THRILLING SAGA IN HISTORY.

Gaul, Rome, and Egypt, an inexorable collision of three legendary worlds that closes the “Trilogy of the Ascent,” the first part of this Julius Caesar series.
