Book IV

From Pompeii in Book I, to Egypt in Book II, and Britain in Book III, we now arrive, at last, in Rome!

Rome - the centre of Empire. Let the senses be overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle on the river and streets, the magnificence and grandeur of the architectural monuments, and the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the largest city in antiquity.

Meet also a host of new characters: an ambitious Roman building-contractor, an elegant, philosophical Greek lady, a rude door-man, a love-struck pantomime actor, and the Emperor himself, Domitian. Hail Caesar!
