Most historians, both ancient and modern, have viewed the Late Republic of Rome through the eyes of its rich nobility - the one percent of the population who controlled 99 percent of the empire's wealth. In The Assassination of Julius Caesar, Michael Parenti recounts this period, spanning the years 100 to 33 BC, from the perspective of the Roman people. In doing so, he presents a provocative, trenchantly researched narrative of popular resistance against a powerful elite.

Super easy listening & very engaging

In college courses Parenti’s obvious emphasis on class relations begged to be identified as the driving force of Antiquity & Roman History. Why all my Professors refused to address class relations directly was a clear indication of their biases. Parenti has written a serious yet entertaining book and the narration is outstanding and engaging.
