This third volume of McCullough’s ’Masters of Rome’ series concerns Lucius Cornelius Sulla’s rise to Dictator of Rome and his eventual retirement, as well as the budding careers of both Pompey the Great and Julius Caesar. I enjoyed this work more than the second book, but not quite as much as the first. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s fiction, because the minute details seem very real.
