When Cicero had first explained his plan to me the night before, I had been privately appalled, and I anticipated that the straight-laced Sanga would feel the same way: that he would throw up his hands and perhaps even storm out of the room at hearing such a monstrous suggestion. But businessmen, I have since come to realize, are the least shockable of characters, far less so than soldiers and politicians. You can propose anything to a businessman and he will usually be willing at least to think about it. conspirata - robert harris

As a lover of ancient Rome and its history I enjoyed this book, filled with political intrigue and mystery. Seeing this story told from Tiro's pov was has also been a nice touch to the series as it adds a personal but objective tone to the narrative. I also loved all the authenticity and historical accuracy in this book as it shows that history does not need to be dramatically altered in order to tell an interesting and riveting story.
