Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction (2004).

Rubicon tells the bloodstained drama of the last decades of the Roman republic. The narrative follows the great figures who bestrode the Roman world—Pompey and Crassus, Cato, Cicero and Caesar—and explains what it was that made Rome the greatest superpower the world has known, why it lasted so long and what caused its eventual fall. This is a story crammed with drama and spectacle, told with tremendous wit, narrative verve and insight. Rubicon was a top ten Sunday Times bestseller.
