The Grass Crown by Colleen Mccullough

The Grass Crown by Colleen Mccullough

Throughout the Western world, great kingdoms have fallen and despots lay crushed beneath the heels of Romes advancing legions. But in this age of magnificent triumph and barbaric cruelty, internal rebellion threatens the stability and survival of the mighty Republic. And an aging, ailing Gaius Marius, heralded conqueror of Germany and Numidia, longs for that which was prophesied many years before: an unprecedented seventh consulship of Rome. It is a prize to be won only through treachery and with blood, pitting Marius against a new generation of assassins, powerseekers and Senate intriguers -- and setting him at odds with the ambitious, tormented Lucius Cornelius Sulla, once Mariuss most trusted right-hand man, now his most dangerous rival.
