    More like historical fantasy in key respects
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2019*

I've read hundreds of historical novels, dozens of them set in ancient Rome and I've read a lot of Roman history.  I was thrilled last week to discover a new author, Ben Kane.  As I began to read, the writing itself stood out as several cuts above the average of decently written fiction and I was even more enthusiastic.  But then came the story of Flamininus, Roman senator and conqueror of Greece--one of the central characters in this story.  An early scene has Flamininus scheming to be elected consul to lead the war against Macedonia.  Kane has the election being held in and by the Senate (!!) and candidates running as tickets for the places of senior and junior consul (!!).  You can't have read any accounts of high Roman politics and come up with this procedure.  Consuls were always elected in the centuriate assembly, where voting was by voting classes, weighted to heavily favor the wealthy.  Yes, candidates needed senators to support them, but also the wealthy businessmen (knights).  The top vote getter was senior consul, second place, junior consul.  Senior and junior were often political rivals--a further check and balance against abuse of power.  Whoi presided over the senate meetings depended on the month, the two consuls alternating.  The same for military command while in office.  These are basic facts of the Roman political constitution and shaped the political culture, which Kane purports to show us in operation.  But how can you understand anything about Roman politics without knowing that several bodies had competing and independent legislative and appointive power?  The senate did not rule the Roman republic, it was just often more powerful than other bodies.  If Kane got this basic stuff wrong, it's difficult to trust the historical accuracy of anything else, although the early battle scenes ring true.  Roman politics provides fascinating material for a novelist, and many have built amazing stories on it.  This isn't one of those novels.

    Historical fiction at its best!
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2018*

I've been a fan of Ben Kane for many years, but out of all his novels this is easily my favorite one!I can't think of any historical fiction writers who have written about the Second Macedonian the war or Philip V of Macedon in any major novel. Ben Kane has not on accomplished this feat, but made Philip an entrancing character that will disgust you one moment only to earn your admiration in his next POV chapter. Titus Quinctius Flamininus, a historical figure I originally showed little interested, is a man this novel has changed my opinion of. Even though I knew his historical fate, I shared his frustration in moments where his plans and ambitions were stymied by his opponents.Clash of Empires easily earns 5 Stars from me! I can't wait to read the next installment!

    Historical, Gripping and Not Foppish
  

*by W***M on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2018*

Ben Kane is an exceptional narrator. Ordinarily a writer who is as careful of detail and meticulous with the historical record as Kane ends up writing tedium. Nothing like that here. In fact, I can sense a considerable progress in Kane's writing style and ability compared to his earlier works. The characters  of just four actors are developed, but developed well: two leaders, Philip of Macedon and  Titus Quinctius Flamininus, and two common (or uncommonly lucky and fine) soldiers of Rome and Macedon. I found myself bouncing back and forth between the Kindle book and my maps to reacquaint myself with central Greece and the eastern Med around the Dardanelles. Other than that, it was a hard to put down read and easily won my five stars.
