Synopsis

This book records a young Athenian's voyage to Rome as a political prisoner and hostage. The journey took place around 90 BC, during a period of Roman conquests and territorial expansion when the empire was at the height of its power. The book explores the political, social, cultural and religious life of the Roman Republic, through the eyes of a foreigner from a land once considered by Romans to be the most powerful. Blending historical research with detailed descriptions of the places and people the young Athenian encounters, the author paints an engrossing picture of an ancient world very different from our own.
