Buy The Triumph of Caesar by Steven Saylor The Roman civil war has come to its conclusion - Pompey is dead, Egypt is firmly under the control of Cleopatra (w. It's Rome, 44 BC, and the Ides of March are approaching. Julius Caesar has been appointed dictator for life by the Roman Senate. Having pardoned his remaining enemies and rewarded his friends, Caesar is now preparing to leave Rome with his army to fight the Parthian Empire. Gordianus the Finder, after decades of investigating crimes and murders involving the powerful, has set aside enough that.
The 16th volume in Saylor’s Roma Sub Rosa series (The Triumph of Caesar, , etc.) uses the reader’s foreknowledge of history to create a special kind of suspense. Its slow pace and abundant period detail tantalize, as Gordianus has multiple near misses with the truth. Pub Date: Feb. 20th, ISBN: The Throne of Caesar is the first full length story for some time in Steven Saylor's wonderful Gordianus Roman mystery series. This one is set in the fateful month of Caesar's assassination. The mystery, revolving around Gordianus' poet friend Cinna, is really a side-issue to Saylor's brilliant portrayal of his hero's experiences leading up to, on and following the famed Ides of March. The Throne of Caesar is the 16th book in the Roma Sub Rosa series, a series that also includes three prequel novels and two collections of short stories. Saylor began in with Roman Blood, set in 80 B.C. some 36 years before the events of this book, and he has slowly been working towards the assassination of Julius Caesar. Indeed, the last three instalments of the series were prequels produced while Saylor perfected his account of this famous murder.
