New York: St. Martins, 1994. First Edition. First printing. Hardbound. New, in a new dust jacket. The fourth book in the Rome series. A perfect unread copy. Less than 7500 copies in first edition.

The sequence continues with "A Murder on the Appian Way" (1996), "Rubicon" (1999), "Last Seen in Massilia" (2000), "A Mist of Prophecies" (2002), "The Judgment of Caesar" (2004), and "The Triumph of Caesar" (2008). Later entries include the prequels "Raiders of the Nile" (2014) and "Wrath of the Furies" (2015), and the more recent "The Throne of Caesar" (2018). In addition to the novels, Saylor published two short story collections set in the same world: "The House of the Vestals" (1997) and "A Gladiator Dies Only Once" (2005).…
