Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Thoroughly researched, but painfully stretched narration. I read Steven Saylor's other book, The Catalina's Riddle, and I absolutely loved it. In comparison, I should say, I'm disappointed with this book. ( ) I love history, and Roman history is a favorite subject of mine. It has always seemed very similar to the modern day United States to me (and remember, Rome fell). This book gives you a history of Roman culture, historical characters, and an interesting mystery as well! Saylor has done his research, and it shows. Set in the Rome of 80 B.C.E, so Rome is still a republic. The main character, Gordianus the Finder, is Sam Spade with a toga. The characters, actual or created, are realistic and interesting. it is a good historical novel as well as a very good mystery. It shows the wealthy upper class of Rome, as well as the seamy side (sometimes the same, just like things are today!). On to book number 2 in the series!
