Resumen del Editor

Once there was a time when Romagna was named Flaminia and the Rubicon was not only a river. When Julius Caesar arrived in 49 BCE, he found waiting for him a wooden palisade colored ruby red where he deployed his legions for several months on that border defended by the legionaries of Pompey.

But who built, even before Caesar was born, and for what reason was a red line of defense built stretching out to the sea, and what would Caesar and his legions do to breach it?

Born out of the historical events that have never before been seen, this book will lead you to discover for the first time what the Rubicon really was, what the legionaries of Caesar did when they decided to attack Rome, and many other unpublished news that you never even suspected, which will lead you, step by step, to discover for the first time:

• What was the Rubicon, really?
• Who constructed it, and for what reason, even before the birth of Caesar?
• Why have historians never been able to agree on where the Rubicon was?
• What plans and strategies did Caesar employ to cross it, and Pompey’s legions in its defense?
• Did someone cast a curse against whoever dared to cross it armed?
• Did Caesar and his legions have nightmares from the "Malanotte" before crossing it?
• What was Romagna and what did it symbolize in the time of Caesar?
• What was the festival of "New Years" that took place in Rome?
• What Latin insults did the legions call each other?

And much other unpublished news that you have never suspected. A book that, for the first time, will cast light on the historical darkness left to fall on these events.
