In the final years of the Roman Empire, while wars consume the frontiers and plague weakens Rome, Emperor Marcus Aurelius struggles to hold together a world that is beginning to collapse from within. Philosopher, strategist, and the last great ruler of an age of stability, he knows that the true threat does not always come from beyond the borders... but from the very heart of power itself.
At his side stands Aulus Galenus Cassianus, a Stoic physician, close friend, and witness to the Empire's most dangerous secrets. But when Marcus Aurelius dies under suspicious circumstances in the military camp of Vindobona, Aulus uncovers a truth capable of changing the history of Rome forever.
Hunted by mercenaries, soldiers, and men loyal to the new emperor Commodus, he begins a desperate flight across Greece, Anatolia, Syria, and Mesopotamia while writing the forbidden account of the emperor's life and of what truly happened on the night the last great emperor of Rome died.
Betrayals, conspiracies, wars, Stoic philosophy, and the decline of an Empire that was beginning to lose its soul.
This is not only the story of a death, it is the story of the end of an era.
Recommended for readers passionate about historical fiction, Ancient Rome, imperial conspiracies, Roman warfare, Stoicism, Meditations, political intrigue, and epic stories about the fall of great empires.Also from
