From Barnes and Noble:
Ancient Rome comes alive in this first novel by British writer Conn Iggulden. This vivid historical novel traces the paths of the brothers Gaius and Marcus: one destined to be a renowned warrior, the other, a power broker in the Roman Senate. Cradled in an imperial history that most of us have largely forgotten, Emperor: The Gates of Rome delivers its epic story with freshness and unanticipated force.

Reviewers have pointed out anachronisms in the book. How do you think this affects the authenticity of the story?
