Book Overview

Gaius Verres: An Historical Study is a book written by Frank Hewitt Cowles in 1917. The book is a comprehensive study of the life and times of Gaius Verres, a Roman politician and governor of Sicily during the First Century BC. Cowles delves into the political and social climate of the time, and examines Verres' rise to power, his governance of Sicily, and his eventual downfall.
