The title is very misleading, it's not really about Caesar's Women, which is what I wanted to read. There are so many novels about Caesar that I truly did want to read about the women in his life.
On top of that, there is a strong belief that Caesar fathered Brutus, the author has Caesar and Servilla meeting when Brutus is 15 - I nearly stopped right there, my jaw clenched.
The author sets Caesar up as this great lover, and most fans of the time period know that the relationship between Caesar and Servilla was a long and powerful one, yet he falls for Servilla because - wait for it - she has a hairy back? twitch
I'm very glad that was a library book, it would have been a waste of my money.
