About this listen

Before Julius Caesar ruled Rome, his uncle Gaius Marius was the most powerful man in the eternal city. Once a provincial nobody with a ruined family, Marius only had one way to power: the sword.

Years later, he writes to his protege Quintus Sertorius, explaining to him how he rose through the ranks of the Roman legion to become the most powerful man in the Republic.

He wants to encourage and inspire the young man but gets lost in the retelling of his first experience of war, love, and killing.

A polarizing man from the beginning, Marius was doomed to have people singing his praises or cursing his name. Now, for the first time, Marius speaks for himself.

"Roman slaves rat better than Celtic peasants."

An all too short tale from the Sentorius Scrolls series, purporting to be a letter sent to him by Gaius Marius in which the latter tells how he rose through the ranks of he legion from rural obscurity to become the most powerful man in Rome. Sentorius had kept it close to him for over 30 years and was publishing the letter as a posthumous tribute.

As with the whole series, this book is beautifully written, and ably performed by Joshua Saxon. But much too short
