Die Macht und die Liebe

McCullough's depiction of Roman politics feels so detailed — I wonder what sources or imagination shaped that realism.

Their relentless pursuit of power made me think about how similar political drives are today. Does this make anyone else reflect on modern leadership?

That era is less commonly explored, and McCullough’s storytelling made it feel incredibly vivid. I’m curious if this choice was driven by historical fascination or narrative opportunity.
