Delve into the tumultuous world of Ancient Rome with 'The Dread and Fear of Kings,' a compelling historical narrative by John Breckenridge Ellis. Experience the intrigues and power struggles that defined the era, as characters like Phaedrus, Sejanus, and Germanicus navigate the treacherous political landscape. Set against the backdrop of Rome and its surrounding regions, from Fidenae to Tarracina, the story unfolds within tablinums and amidst the ever-present threat of the praetorian guard. Encounter figures such as Julia Silia, Caius Lepidus, and Agrippina, each playing a crucial role in the unfolding drama. Ellis masterfully portrays the dread and fear that permeate the lives of both rulers and subjects, capturing the essence of a society teetering on the edge of chaos. 'The Dread and Fear of Kings' offers a vivid glimpse into the heart of Roman ambition and the perilous nature of absolute power.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
