About This Item
New York: Avon Books, 1990 Book. Very Good +. Pbk.. 1st Pbk Edition. Mystery story set in ancient Rome "They were evil times for the great Republic of Crassus and Pompey-- when vicious gangs ruled the streets, routinely preying on plebeian and patrician alike. So the garroting of a lowly ex-slave and the disembowelment of a foreign merchant in the dangerous Subura district seemed of little consequence to the Roman hierarchy. But Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger -- high-born commander of the local vigiles -- was determined to investigate. And despite official apathy, brazen bribes and sinister threats, the dedicated functionary would uncover a foul stew of corruption simmering at the highest levels of his government -- one which promised destruction to both Decius...and the mighty Republic he so loyally served.- 229p. glossary.
