Great story, new perspective

Great to read a story that made me see the Roman Empire differently. Whilst we all know the extent of the empire, it is rare to get perspectives beyond Roman or British. An added bonus is the historical accuracy. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to share it with my class.
