In the Autumn of 68AD, Emperor Nero ruled the Roman Empire. By its end, Nero had committed suicide and three of his successors were dead, and out of the carnage of civil war at home and a nationalistic uprising in Judaea a new emperor, Vespasian, had emerged. Here Scaurus, once the lover of both Vespasian's son and daughter, looks back on the whole extraordinary year and recreates a world of treachery, malice, passion and - occasionally - quiet heroism.
This book brings the distant past vividly to life and presents telling parallels with the present.
