Synopsis

The term, a Pyrrhic victory, comes from the description of a war fought thousands of years ago, and unfortunately, it can still be applied in modern times to conflicts that are costly in both lives and wealth. In the first quarter of the third century B.C.E., Rome was not yet the all-powerful master of the lands around the Mediterranean Sea. Many times since the founding of the Republic, the young domain had approached the edge of dissolution, only to claw its way back to life at a cost that was horrific, in both lives and gold. In this work of historical fiction, a young Roman soldier, a Tyro barely out of training, becomes a part of the history in which that original phrase was created - but only after a journey that spanned a goodly part of the known world.
