Description

Relive the drama of the Roman Empire during the eyes of a young Greek slave on this recent installment in an acclaimed historical series.

Iliona never imagined that her sea voyage from Greece to Egypt would lead her to Rome. But if her ship is boarded by pirates, that’s where she finally ends up — as a slave. Separated from her brother, Apollo, Iliona is soon on the whim of her owners, and the chance of regaining freedom seems like dream. But unlike her brother’s plight, Iliona’s life as a slave isn’t as bad as she feared: her new circle of relatives provides clothing, food, or even schooling, and best of all, she is free to explore the wonders of Rome. Step back to AD 107 and take within the luxury of the baths, the splendor of the Senate, the thrill of gladiatorial combat, and the excesses of Roman feasts in a fictional diary full of excitement, humor, and accurate historical detail.
Back matter includes notes for the reader, a glossary, an index, and sources.
