LANGGUTH, A.J., A Noise of War. Caesar, Pompey, Octavian and the Struggle for Rome. Simon & Schuster, New York (...), 1994. 384p. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings). Half cloth with dust wrps. 'Novelist and biographer Langguth (...) in a narrative that reads as limpidly as fiction, vividly brings alive the death of the Roman Republic and the birth of the Augustan age. Although Julius Caesar (100 B.C.-44 B.C.) stands astride Langguth's narrative like a colossus, the author traces Rome's crisis back to the class tensions between the plebians and patricians who built the Roman empire. (...) A vibrant, readable account of one of Roman history's watershed periods.' (KIRKUS review, 1994). € 19.50 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9780671708290
