BookIdeas.ComReview Excerpt:
Equally satisfying are the glimpses that the author provides into Roman life. Many scenes are set in Arcturus's household, for instance "a good opportunity for us to painlessly learn about what went on in a Roman household" what they wore, what they ate, where they slept. Also, Arcturus deals with characters from all levels of Roman society, so we get a vivid portrayal of how slaves were considered as property rather than people, for example, or of how, in the shadowy world of Roman politics, the wrong move could cost someone not just his career but his life as well.
