Enemy of the Senate: Clodius Pulcher of Ancient Rome

Two thousand years before breadlines and food stamps, one man terrified Rome's ruling class by giving free grain to the poor.

Publius Clodius Pulcher was born into one of the oldest families in Rome. He threw it all away. He abandoned his patrician name, won election as tribune, and passed a law that gave every Roman citizen free grain, paid for by the state. The Senate called him a traitor to his class. The poor called him a savior. The men who ruled Rome called him the most dangerous man alive.

They were right. And they killed him for it.

Told through the eyes of Aia, a woman who built a grain business on the docks of the Tiber and watched Clodius from the time he was a wild boy throwing coins in the cattle market. She was there when he rose. She was there when the mob carried his body into the Senate house and burned it to the ground. Enemy of the Senate is the story of the man who fed Rome and the Republic that destroyed him.
