Mary Beard, A.D. 165: The Roman Empire has reached its peak, with Pax Roma reigning from Britannia to Egypt, Gaul to Greece. Emperor Marcus Aurelius presides over a golden age, while the Pinarius family of artisans adorns the magnificent city of Rome with gilded statues and towering marble monuments. However, history takes an unexpected turn. Wars, plagues, fires, and famines plague the empire, and the worst emperors succeed the best. Barbarians invade, and chaos engulfs the empire. Despite these challenges, the Pinarius family survives, thanks to the fascinum, a protective talisman older than Rome itself. However, on the fringes of society, a group of Christians emerges, spreading dangerous and seditious ideas. Some emperors tolerate the Christians, while others engage in bloody persecution. Then, in a surprising twist, one emperor converts to Christianity, igniting a revolution that will forever change the world. Spanning 160 years and seven generations, Saylor's epic novel brings to life some of the most tumultuous chapters of human history, events that continue to resonate today.
