“Dynasty. The Rise and Fall of The House of Caesar.”

The family that transformed Rome

“A masterly account of this first wicked century of the Roman Empire”
– Adam Nicolson, Sunday Times

“Holland does not just tell the story of the reign of the Julio-Claudian family. He knits the history of ancient Rome into his narrative – its founding myths, the fall of the republic, the religious superstitions – with a skill so dextrous you don´t notice the stitching. Dynasty is both a formidable effort to compile what we can know about the ancient world and a sensational story”
– Nick Cohen, Observer

“A witty and skillful storyteller … He recounts with pleasure his racy tales of psychopathic cruelty, incest, paedophilia, matricide, fratricide, assassination and depravity”
– William Dalrymple, New Statesman
