Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In the year 384 A.D. in the city of Leptis Magna, the heir of an imperial Roman family reflects on how the Roman world has changed in the decades since its peak when his city was home to a dynasty of Roman emperors. This historical novel is based on the writings of a Roman historian from that time, and is told in a series of short stories in memoir style.
Â
Leptis Magna was the capital of the province of Tripolitania. In a world of fading Roman power, raiding desert tribes, and corrupt imperial officials, the people of Leptis Magna look to Septimius Lucius and his aristocratic family for protection. He is tormented by what he has done to save himself and protect the family fortune. He does not know which way to turn. In the deafening silence and remorseless presence of the Western Desert, an answer appears.
Â
If you saw the film "Gladiator" and want to know what happened to the Roman Empire after the Emperor Commodus was killed, this story begins where that one leaves off. This story provides human detail and historical perspective on timeless themes like family, honor, money and power.Â
