商品簡介
General and politician, son of Pompey the Great, Sextus was the most popular leader in Rome's civil wars of the 40s and 30s BC. But the victors write the biographies as well as the histories, and so modern readers know only the portrayal of him by Augustus, Horace, and Virgil as the unnamed and defeated opponent in the war against pirates and slaves. The contributors, who are not identified, dig deeper and tell different stories. Distributed in the US by David Brown Book Company. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
