{"product_id":"civil-wars-1","title":"Civil Wars","description":"Taken from Appian's Roman History, the five books collected here form the sole surviving continuous historical narrative of the era between 133-35 BC - a time of anarchy and instability for the Roman Empire. A masterly account of a turbulent epoch, they describe the Catiline conspiracy; the rise and fall of the First Triumvirate; the murder of Julius Caesar; the formation of the Second Triumvirate by Antonius, Octavian, and Lepidus; and brutal civil war. A compelling depiction of the decline of the Roman state into brutality and violence, The Civil Wars portrays political discontent, selfishness and the struggle for power - a struggle that was to culminate in a titanic battle for mastery over the Roman Empire, and the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra by Octavian in 31 BC","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220805701976,"sku":"9780140445091","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780140445091_bef32895-42dc-479d-99f3-0c60ba3c3502.jpg?v=1777068911","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/civil-wars-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
