The Noblest Roman
by Roger Butters (9781857566840)

Intricately woven relationships are presented against the backdrop of ancient Rome in this lighthearted depiction of one fictional family. Septimius Severus, a military hard man whose sons are a source of embarrassment to him, has come to power a quarter century after the reign of Marcus Aurelius and his depraved son Commodus. Historically accurate and told with humor, this gripping epic portrays the chronicled saga of turbulent times, palace intrigue, and the political machination that follows, while tracing the lives and loves of six young people caught up in a precarious reign. Full of murder, conspiracy, and all-encompassing passion, the outcome of this tale cannot be predicted.
