Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar

This book is amazing. It made Julius Caesar (and the rulers who followed him, although only the ones in his direct line) absolute accessible and understandable. It made the history funny and fascinating and easily digested. It was the kind of book where you go to a party and you suddenly find yourself asking people if they want to hear an interesting fact about Augustus Caesar! (They probably don't.)
