Helpful Score: 2

This is the 4th book in McCullough's "Masters of Rome" series, and it focuses a bit more on womens' lives in ancient Rome than in past books. This has to be one of my favorite historical fiction (hi-fi) series of all time - all four books this far are oustanding. Because the author spent 13 years studying and researching the history before writing the first book, the stories are all the more fascinating as they're based on true historical events. I highly recommend reading the first three books in order: "The First Man in Rome," "The Grass Crown" and "Fortune's Favorites" before reading this book. Feel free to email with any questions. ~LeAnn
