Rezensionen
Don Hollway's At the Gates of Rome is a masterful blending of solid scholarship and excellent storytelling that brings the Eternal City's turbulent early history to vibrant life. Patricians and barbarians, slaves and saints, victors and vanquished leap from the pages fully formed, making the book an enthralling read from the first page to the last.
