Starts with Julius Caesar's grandfather and goes through his sucessor, Augustus Caesar. Brilliantly researched and vividly written. I read all 7 and then started over. I've made it to book five again.

Would love to meet her but she is in her 80's in poor health and lives in the south pacific-someplace wierd like Pitcairn Island.
