From the Roma Sub Rosa series by Steven Saylor, Catilina's Riddle is an excellent novel of ancient Rome. As a person who enjoys and studies history, I can say that Mr. Saylor's books are VERY well researched. However, beyond the historical accuracy of the novels, the stories are AMAZING! His prose is easy-to-read and flows freely. If you are a history buff or even just someone who enjoys a great novel, you will love Catilina's Riddle.

If I didn't know any better I would swear that Saylor had lived in Ancient Rome.
