Omnibus Books #01~5
#1. The First Man in Rome:
Here is the story of Marius, wealthy but lowborn, and Sulla, an aristocratic but, debauched - extraordinary men of vision whose ruthless ambition will lay the foundations of the most awesome and enduring empire known to humankind. A towering saga of great events and mortal frailties, it is peopled with a vast, and vivid cast of unforgettable men and women - soldiers and senators, mistresses and wives, kings and commoners - combined in a richly embroidered human tapestry to bring a remarkable era to bold and breathtaking life.
#2. The Grass Crown:
Throughout the Western world, great kingdoms have fallen and despots lay crushed beneath the heels of Rome's advancing legions. But in this age of magnificent triumph and barbaric cruelty, internal rebellion threatens the stability and survival of the mighty Republic. And an ageing, ailing Gaius Marius, heralded 'conqueror of Germany and Numidia, longs for that which was prophesied many years before: an unprecedented seventh consulship of Rome. It is a prize to be won only through treachery and with blood, pitting Marius against a new generation of assassins, power seekers and Senate intriguers - and setting him at odds with the ambitious, tormented Lucius Cornelius Sulla, once Marius's most trusted right-hand man, now his most dangerous rival
#3. Fortune's Favourites:
'Fortune's Favourites' Witnesses The Power, Mastery And Cunning Of Two Enigmatic Rulers Of Rome - Sulla, Returning From Exile, And The 22-year-old Pompe, Who Designates Himself Magnus The Great. And In The Background - A Young Soldier, Caesar, Who Begins To Show The Expert Qualities That Will One Day Make Him Leader.
#4. Caesar's Women:
The first three novels in McCullough's Masters of Rome series--First Man in Rome, The Grass Crown, and Fortune's Favorites--have all led to this book: Caesar in his ascension. This dramatic novel tells the story of Julius Caesar and the Republic of Rome: a world that loved him, resented him, fought to destroy him--but never managed to ignore him.
#5. Caesar:
It is 54 B.C. Gaius Julius Caesar is sweeping through Gaul, crushing the fierce, long-haired warrior-kings who stand in his way. His victories in the name of Rome are epic, but the leaders of the Republic are not pleased - they are terrified. Where will the boundless ambition of Rome's most brilliant soldier stop? He must be destroyed before he can overthrow the government and install himself as Dictator.

#6. The October Horse:
Rome, 48BC. Scene of one of the greatest political battles - and one of the most passionate love affairs - of all time. Julius Caesar is in the prime of his life and at the height of his powers. But behind the myth lies a man beset with contradictions. Happily married, he is also the lover of the enigmatic Egyptian queen, Cleopatra. A great general, he wishes to bring to an end Rome's endless wars. Conscious of his own power, and contemptuous of lesser men, he is determined not to be worshipped as a living god or crowned emperor. But Caesar is a man whose very greatness attracts envy and jealousy to a dangerous degree, and as the political intrigues which surround him reach their climax, his destruction becomes inevitable. As the Ides of March approach, one of the most powerful stories in history reaches its dramatic conclusion...
#7. Antony and Cleopatra:
Mark Antony, famous warrior and legendary lover, expected that he would be Julius Caesar's successor. But after Caesar's murder it was his 18-year old nephew, Octavian, who was named in the will. No-one, least of all Antony, expected him to last but his youth and slight frame concealed a remarkable determination and a clear strategic sense. Antony was the leader of the fabulously rich East. Barely into his campaigning, he met Cleopatra, Pharaoh of Egypt. Bereft by the loss of Julius Caesar, her lover, father of her only son, she saw Antony as another Roman who could support her and provide more heirs. His fascination for her, his sense that she knew the way forward where he had lost his, led to the beginning of their passionate, and very public affair. The two men, twin rulers of Rome, might have found a way to live with each other but not with Cleopatra between them.
