Richard Miles, fellow of Trinity Hall, Cambridge said of Holland’s Rubicon “Next time someone asks me why they should study Roman history, Rubicon will be one of the first books that I shall direct them to”.

After his talk Tom Holland will give a half hour Q&A with selected students discussing the issues raised in his talk. This event will take place in the Hall at lunch and will be of interest to any with an interest in History, Classics or Religious Studies.
