Imperium, Conspirata, and now Dictator is the long-awaited final volume of Robert Harris’s Ancient Rome Trilogy, now available as an audiobook.

At forty-eight, Cicero, the greatest orator of his time, finds himself in exile, grappling with his sense of failure and the sacrifices he made for his principles. Promised support from his political enemy, Caesar, he returns to Rome, striving to regain his former prominence through law, politics, and the power of his writing. In this riveting narrative, the audiobook captures the tumultuous events of ancient history, including the collapse of the Roman Republic, the murder of Pompey, and Julius Caesar’s assassination. Harris presents a timeless inquiry into maintaining political freedom in the face of ambition and war, offering an indelible portrait of Cicero as a brilliant, flawed, and ultimately brave hero for both his time and ours.
