Description
A powerful, evocative and darkly humorous fictional memoir, The Roman is the thrilling story of Rome as seen through the eyes of a former senator. Perfect for fans of I, Claudius and Robert Harris's Cicero.
A rascal. A malcontent. Unfit for office.

Now ensconced on his estate near Pompeii, Ruso has picked up his pen to set the record straight on a life lived at the heart of Roman history.
Rising from humble beginnings to rub shoulders with the most celebrated names in Rome, Ruso served Julius Caesar, Cato and Crassus, and even participated in the greatest rebellion of the age: the slave revolt led by Spartacus.
