Death on the Appian Way
Angebote / Angebote:
Kenneth Benton's 1974 novel is an examination political chicanery and corruption in the last decade of the Roman Republic, which will appeal to fans of Robert Harris' 'Cicero' trilogy. Indeed Cicero plays a key role in the novel, as does the notorious 'socialite' Clodia, sister (and possible lover) of the street-fighting politician Clodius Pulcher. Set between the years 63-52 BC, with the power struggle between Caesar and Pompey looming and based on historical incidents and trial proceedings, Death on the Appian Way is a seriously neglected historical novel by an author who made his name with contemporary political adventure thrillers.
