The Republic is dying. Ambition is the only constant.
In the heart of ancient Rome, where the Senate's power wanes and the Triumvirate's shadow lengthens, a clerk meticulously documents the Republic's final days. Quintus Velius confronts a chilling reality: the precise calculations of power eclipse moral courage. As the Republic crumbles, ambitious leaders like Antony, Lepidus, and Octavian perform a deadly dance, their every move a calculated measure of influence and control.
Meanwhile, across the Mediterranean in Alexandria, Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt, performs her own intricate calculations. To secure her throne, she navigates the treacherous waters of Roman politics, weighing alliances and seductions with the precision of a mathematician. As Rome's political giants clash, Cleopatra砝码 seeks the one equation that guarantees Egypt's survival.
The Calculation of Kings plunges readers into a world of political intrigue, where every action, every word, and every alliance is a carefully measured risk. From the bloody triumph of the Triumvirate to the opulent courts of Alexandria, witness the fall of the Republic and the rise of a new empire, all through the lens of cold equations and calculated ambition.
