Description

An Emperor's crimes provoke the wrath of the gods . . .

Nero has seized control of Rome and the crown. He is willing to destroy anyone that gets in his way. No one is safe - not even his scheming mother.
As its new Emperor sinks to insane levels of brutality, Rome becomes a hell of corruption, depravity and vice.
But dark omens hang over the city.
Has the power-crazed Nero gone too far?

Author description

Tacitus studied rhetoric in Rome and rose to eminence as a pleader at the Roman Bar. In 77 he married the daughter of Agricola, conqueror of Britain, of whom he later wrote a biography.
