It’s true that Genghis Khan is one of the most infamous ruler in our history, but it’s quite surprising for me that the name Tsubodai isn’t hailed as often as Genghis Khan, at least not to my knowledge. This book is generally about Pericles, Statesman and supreme Leader of Athens against their fearsome enemies of Sparta, until the outbreak of the plague, and during this leadership he's assisted at first by Ephialtes and later on by Myronides, and always not far behind Pericles there's his friend, the awesome and once banished Strategos on land and sea for Athens, Cimon. So that when the fighting is over, Julius will face the greatest threat to him yet—a man who wants Rome for himself.
