FROM THE BACK:
"The riveting story of a dramatic year in the Roman Empire's history.

In the Autumn of 68AD, Emperor Nero ruled the Roman Empire. Twelve months later, Nero had committed suicide and three of his successors were dead, and out of the carnage of civil war at home and a nationalistic uprising in Judaea a new emperor, Vespasian, had emerged.

Here Scaurus, once the lover of both Vespasian's son and daughter, looks back on the whole extraordinary year and recreates a world of treachery, malice, passion and - occasionally - quiet heroism. Drawing on his formidable knowledge of Roman history, Allan Massie brings the distant past vividly to life and creates parallels with the present.'

This very interesting looking book has been sitting on my shelf unread for far too long. It's off to find another reader at The Canberra Bookcrossers Meet-up.

Happy Reading :-)

Picked this up from the Canberra BookCrossers Meet up at the Canberra Yacht Club. Looking forward to getting into it soon.

Started reading this book but couldn't get into it. I suppose it was to much like a biography. Just not my style.

The book crossing zone in the Enid Lyons (new DSS) building. Will be released onto the book shelf level 3.A.  

To be released in a little street library in Narrabundah / Griffith area.

I heard the doorbell, but I was out the back and only made it to the front door to see you driving off. I hope to have the street library up and running soon and these will be a good contribution. Thank you.

This book spent four months in the little free library (86492) in Narrabundah, ACT. Now swapping a few books over to refresh the library. I removed this book, and it will go on a car journey with me. I will look for a suitable place to leave it, where hopefully a reader will find it.

Left on a table in front of Some Cafe, in Collector, NSW.
