Blood in the Forum: A Novella of Ancient Rome

By Vincent B. Davis II

Politics. Betrayal. Assassination.

Rome, 133 b.c.Gaius Marius is back from war in the West. They fought for the peace and prosperity of Rome, but the legions return to find the Eternal City far less peaceful and prosperous than they had hoped. People are starving, homelessness abounds, war after war has overtaxed the legions. And the revolutionary tribune, Tiberius Gracchus, thinks he has a solution for everything.

Political parties are developing, the people are up in arms, the senate is enraged. And Tiberius is at the center of it all. Before Marius has a chance to reacclimate to civilian life, he's thrust into this political upheaval in Rome. His allegiances are put to the test as Rome is almost brought to the brink of civil war.

For the first time in the history of the Republic, blood will be shed in the forum.
