Lucius Licinius Lucullus, besser bekannt als Lukull und Sinnstifter der deutschen Redewendung "lukullische Genüsse", lebte von 117 v. Chr. bis 56 v. Chr. Für das Römische Reich zog er als Feldherr gegen Mithridates und schlug diesen in mehreren Schlachten und eroberte das Königreich Pontos. Mit den Reichtümern, die er aus Asien mitbrachte, lebte er fortan in Rom seinen verschwenderischen Lebensstil.

Julius Cäsar wurde 100 vor Chr. in Rom als einziger Sohn einer Adelsfamilie geboren. Ehrgeiz, Redetalent und Intelligenz zeichneten ihn aus...

Walk in the steps of King Aegesilus, leader of Sparta and conquerer of Corinth. Cornelius Nepos recounts the life of a man who was loyal when it suited him and merciful when the mood struck him. He was one of the greatest kings Sparta ever had, yet he almost lost the title to another.

The Lion of Mistra is the third in this epic historical series, shaped by the quest for a powerful relic which could save the endangered Byzantine Empire. It's a different world. Bayezid, leader of the Ottomans, is dead; his heirs, Suleyman and Mehmed, are at war with each other; and the dread Tamerlane, who was on the brink of invading China, is also dead. Luke is now pushed into the role of protector of Mistra.

Tanti furono i barbari ed i condottieri che calarono furiosamente dalle sterminate lande orientali per sfidare l'Impero Romano, ma soltanto uno e' entrato nella leggenda prima ancora che nella storia: Attila, il re degli Unni.Barbaro e distruttore, Attila incarno' per anni lo stereotipo del condottiero crudele e selvaggio.

Though Nepos largely focused on the Greco-Romans in his writings, some men accomplished so much he was willing to break this rule. Datames was a commander of armies, man of the kings of Persia and Egypt, and outwitter of plots. Follow his intricate and exciting life as he attempts to outpace the powerful men around him.

In this epic history, find yourself on the eons-old battlefield between Athens and Sparta. Lysander will appear on the scene as a genius commander who changes the course of history. Will he conquer Athens? Or will he himself be conquered?

Conon the Athenian (not the Barbarian of a similar name) was the general who set Greece free. March along the shores of the Peloponese and launch attacks at sea with him as Nepos regales the life of this famed hero. Here is the man who would see the great walls of Athens rebuilt but find his own life finished in prison.

Cornelius Nepos greatly admired Timoleon, a man of wisdom and patience who knew evil when he saw it. He was ready and willing to do right by his homeland of Corinth, even when it meant betraying his own brother, the dictator. Timoleon stands through time as a model citizen and leader who, in his old age, became blind just like true justice.

History is written by the victors, and Rome had some very eloquent historians. Those the Romans regarded as barbarians left few records of their own, but they had a tremendous impact on the Roman imagination. Resisting from outside Rome's borders or rebelling from within, they emerge vividly in Rome's historical tradition, and left a significant footprint in archaeology.

After the huge success of Rumble with the Romans!, celebrated author and illustrator Gary Northfield creates another brilliantly fast-paced, funny and utterly bonkers adventure for Julius Zebra and his hapless pals to go on. Emperor Hadrian has one last favour to ask of the gladiator animals before he will grant them their greatest wish - freedom. They must go to the far-off and strange land of Britain to win over the crowds of his empire. But this will be no happy-go-lucky holiday....

Gengis Khan e Attila sono sicuramente due tra i condottieri più conosciuti di tutti i tempi: il primo è stato capace di creare il più vasto impero mai visto sulla faccia della terra, il secondo invece con i suoi Unni fece tremare Roma e, a tutt’oggi, incarna il mito del barbaro violento e distruttore. Stiamo parlando di due icone che fanno parte dell’immaginario collettivo mondiale e che hanno scritto con il sangue pagine e pagine di storia sui campi di battaglia di mezzo mondo.
