Query: A first rate Roman whodunnit

Saylor's story makes Rome of the first century, BC come alive. In the guise of Gordianus, we are allowed a glimse of Roman life and the dealings of some of the most famous men of ancient history. The depiction of Crassus is very true to the historical sources. The book also gives insight into the Roman concept of slavery, a more all-encompassing and more brutal type of slavery than ever occurred in colonial America. Also, its also a fun whodunnit as well.
