City of Belmont - Ruth Faulkner Public Library

Marius, a wealthy rustic barred by his low birth from grasping his prophesied destiny, to become the First Man in Rome - he who stands above all his peers through sheer excellence. Sulla, handsome and debauched scion of an impeccably aristocratic house, prevented by penury from claiming his birthright. Brought together by war in dark and distant lands, they battle the enemies of Rome and their enemies within Rome; for the quest to become the First Man in Rome is as political as it is military, and the First Man in Rome must be master of both arenas. An epic masterpiece which sweeps the reader into a world of political intrigue, danger, wars, assassinations, devastating upheaval, intricate family alliances and rivalries and undeniable reality.
