I present at auction: "LIVES OF THE GREAT CAPTAINS OF ANTIQUITY," a book that reveals the lives of the most renowned strategists, generals and statesmen who shaped the classical world under the guidance of a fundamental Roman author: CORNELIUS NEPOS. Cornelius Nepos (1st century BC), in Latin, Cornelius Nepos, the great biographer of the Republican era, offers us with agility and rigor the portraits of those who defended or challenged empires. Each chapter is an exciting journey to the heart of military leadership, tactical acumen, and human ambition in Greco-Roman antiquity.

Porcius Cato and T. Pomponius Atticus. Each life is a historical testament of valor, strategy and destiny.
