<p><b><h3>''A masterly account of this first wicked century of the Roman Empire'' Sunday Times</h3></b><br><br>''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'' <i>Observer</i><br><br>''A witty and skilful storyteller... He recounts with pleasure his racy tales of psychopathic cruelty, incest, paedophilia, matricide, fratricide, assassination and depravity'' William Dalrymple, <i>New Statesman</i><br><br>''A wonderful, surging narrative... [for] anyone interested in history, politics or human nature - and it has never been better told'' <i>Mail on Sunday</i><br><br><b>THE TOP TEN <i>SUNDAY TIMES </i>BESTSELLER</b></p>
