Ray’s Reviews > The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome > Status Update

I like this book but the Caesar wank is just too much.

Cicero is really a massive douche.

Parenti is just dunking some of these historians and I'm honestly here for all of it.

An interesting perspective on the assassination of Julius Caesar and a harrowing critique of the modern popular conception of Rome. It also demonstrates the shocking bias of past historians who have their own class-motivated interests in writing history. I might check the validity of Parenti's claims because it's really provocative. But so far it's a great read, kept me up all night.
