Shadows of the Caesars by Pueros is a leisurly romp through a critical period of Roman history. It is as accurate as any high school history text that I have reviewed and Ive reviewed a number of them for publishers and for the State Board of Education. Its just very different in its focus.
While it will require a bit of effort to cope with all of the Roman names and Latin terms through its five parts, the story is well worth the effort. It will change forever what you thought you had learned in highschool, though I dont think I would vote to approve Pueros effort in my local school district.
Highly recommended!

Re: Shadows of the Caesars
I again thank Jesus for his kind words about one of my stories. However, I'm confused as to what 'First Timer' is talking about!
