I just finished reading this book. I thought my reaction to it was weird. I thought that throughout the book I was more interested in the historical fact, but the end had this rush of emotion... Climactic? Hmmm...it was so short-lived. All the action happened in about 20 pages.
I'd categorize this book as light reading...it's not that heavy in historical fact droppings, although historical Rome was very accurate.
