The First Century BC was a watershed for the development of the Roman state. It was a century characterized by near incessant warfare and political strife in Rome, evidence that a new form of government was necessary to rule over its new extensive conquests. It was becoming apparent to the traditional ruling elite that the ancient military superpower was beginning to undergo an uneasy transition from Republic to Imperial Power. Central in this change were the actions of the First Triumvirate: an alliance between the most powerful men in Rome. The Triumvirate was composed of Gnaeus Pompey Magnus, Marcus Licinius Crassus, and Gaius Julius Caesar, and together these individuals combined their vast political influence to reduce the Roman Senate to a mere charade. Together, they eked out a place for themselves at the head of the Roman state. Through their efforts, Gaul, Spain and Syria came firmly into the Roman fold. However, like all things true to the Roman Republic, the First Triumvirate was not invulnerable to outside coercion and manipulation. Soon, it too began to show signs of corruption, and each man started to suspect the other of looming betrayal. These misgivings would seep through the alliance until the poison had successfully turned the members of the First Triumvirate against one another. The political tension, and the ensuing war, would fundamentally alter the very fabric of the Roman state forever. From the chaos of the Triumvirate, a new form of government would take root: the Roman monarchy we now know as the Empire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Readable History
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2016
I have read a great deal of history, have a degree in Medieval history and a degree in classical rhetoric. Most history books are long and boring. This one is not.

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2016
An interesting backstory for a sequence of events that had profound implications for art, science and politics during the subsequent 2 millenia. Who can forget "Yon Cassius lean and hungry look"? I await arrival of The Second Triumvirate with interest.

The book was published by Make Profits Easy LLC in 2016. I only noticed this because the book did not look terribly professional once I got past the cover, I also find it interesting that almost all the positive customer reviews were entered in (early) January, presumably just as this book was published. Not sure how that happened. You figure it out. Personally I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Poor editing - many grammatical mistakes, skips in thought, repetitive sometimes. Content is reasonably good although somewhat opinionated.

3.0 out of 5 stars Informative but badly needs proof-reading.

For anyone with an interest in Roman politics, and its strange similarities to our own, this is a valuable source of information. I regret, however, that the book is littered with misspellings and grammatical errors (split infinitives not least). The important thing about quoting Latin is not to do so unless it's correct. Ius Bellum, for example, is 'Pleasant law-code'. 'Law(s) of war: ius belli. 'Just' (or justified) war: bellum iustum.

Read like it was the authors university course work. I Have no problem if it was but nowhere did it say that when I was buying it. That feeling was supported by the huge font that was used to, IMHO, bulk the pages out so it looked like a proper book when it actually it would have otherwise have looked like what it was. Didn't hate it but don't think if I hadn't read I would have missed anything.
