Product Description
Vespasian''s mission will lead to violence, mayhem, and theftand in the end, to a betrayal so great it will echo through the ages
Vespasian is serving as a military officer on the outskirts of the Roman Empire, suppressing local troubles and defending the Roman way. But political events in RomeTiberius''s increasingly insane debauchery, the escalating grain crisisdraw him back to the city. When Caligula becomes Emperor, Vespasian believes that things will improve. Instead, he watches the young emperor deteriorate from Rome''s shining star to a blood-crazed, incestuous, all-powerful madman. Lavish building projects, endless games, public displays of his relationship with his sister, Drusilla, and a terrified senate are as nothing to Caligula''s most ambitious plan: to bridge the bay of Neapolis and ride over it wearing Alexander''s breastplate. And it falls to Vespasian to travel to Alexandria and steal it from Alexander''s mausoleum.
