SPQR VII: The Tribune's Curse (SPQR)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Decius Caecilius Metellus is happy. The weather is beautiful and he is standing for office (literally, standing, in the Roman Forum soliciting votes) with a sure chance of winning. Caesar's ongoing dreary war is far off in Gaul. Decius is confident that another war looming over Rome-instigated by one Crassus against the Parthians-will be voted down in the Senate. But the vote does not stop Crassus. On the day he and his troops set out from Rome, the Tribune Ateius Capitus, leader of the opposition, shrieks an ancient and terrible curse over the huge crowd assembled-a curse that frightens not only the man in the street but the highest Romans. And when Ateius is murdered, a reluc-tant Decius is chosen to find his killer.
