Davis has done an excellent job of bringing the ancient city of Rome to life-the sights, sounds and smells are vivid. The characters, most of them real historical figures (including both Caenis and Vespasian), also come alive on the page. Careful research and a good eye for detail are evident throughout. The book includes maps of Imperial Rome and the Roman Empire; I would also have appreciated a family tree or two. This well-written story is enjoyable reading that also gives a good history lesson.
