FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Vespasian is serving as a military officer on the outskirts of the Roman Empire, suppressing local troubles and defending the Roman way. But political events in Rome - Tiberius increasingly insane debauchery, the escalating grain crisis - draw him back to the city.When Caligula becomes Emperor, Vespasian believes that things will improve. Instead, he watches his leader deteriorate from Romes shining star to a blood-crazed, profligate madman. Lavish building projects, endless games, public displays of his incestuous relationship with his sister, Drusilla, and a terrified senate are as nothing to Caligulas most ambitious plan: to bridge the bay of Neapolis and ride over it wearing Alexanders breastplate. And it falls to Vespasian to make the long journey to Alexandria to steal the legendary armour.Vespasians mission will lead to violence, mayhem and murder - and in the end, to a betrayal so great it will echo through the ages.
