These nine biographies illuminate the careers, personalities and military campaigns of some of Rome's greatest statesmen, whose The Faith of Christopher Hitchens: The Restless Soul of the World's Most Notorious Atheist download PDF lives span the earliest days of the Republic to the establishment of the Empire. Selected from Plutarch's Roman Lives, they include prominent figures who achieved fame for their pivotal roles in Roman history, such as soldierly Marcellus, eloquent Cato and cautious Fabius. Here too are vivid portraits of ambitious, hot-tempered Coriolanus; objective, principled Brutus and open-hearted Mark Anthony, who would later be brought to life by Shakespeare.
