“Winter quarters near Sirmium, in present-day Serbia, 2nd century. The plague, which has reached Rome, continues to deplete the population and the army, the barbarian invasions have not given truce, the rise of Christianity shakes the foundations of the empire, and the uprisings and rumors of his wife's infidelities reach Marcus Aurelius with malice. The emperor, who dealt with both war and the daily challenges of family and love with greatness, assuming leadership under the model of the ideal Roman and at the same time like almost no man of his time, reflects on his life, death and the limits of power in this masterful novel.
With the seasoned pen that characterizes him, Pablo Montoya displays a sharp historical rigor that presents readers with a striking fresco of imperial Rome and a unique look at a man who marked history with his lucidity, courage and humanity.”
