Kill Caesar!: Assassination in the Early Roman Empire

By Rose Mary Sheldon

Exploring the history of internal security of the first Roman dynasty, this book answers the enduring question: If there were nine thousand men guarding the emperor, why did Rome have the highest rate of assassination of any empire? Sheldon concludes that the repeated problem of "killing Caesar" reflected the empire's larger dynamics and turmoil.
