About This Book

A Roman nobleman recounts his downfall after imperial suspicion brings exile and the threat of execution. Fleeing the capital, he survives by disguise and concealment, endures mountain winters, contests and hunts, sea voyages and risky overland journeys, and encounters tenants, outlaws, mutineers, and corrupt officials. His travels expose festivals, chariot-racing, schemes of imposture and shifting loyalties that alternately endanger and assist him. He is eventually captured, faces accusation, torture, and imprisonment, and the narrative concludes with a recognition and an epilogue that resolve his long ordeal while observing life under the Empire.
