Nomenclator: Initium is the first of a series of novels that follows the life of Julius Caesar's nomenclator, Polybius Tychaeus. In ancient Rome, a nomenclator was the close personal attendant who announced the names and information about people to his master. In this capacity, Polybius came to know some of the greatest personalities during the turbulent time of the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Principate. Polybius provides an eyewitness account of the political intrigues, romances, wars, and family life of Caesar and the men and women in this time. While a work of fiction, the story line adheres to the historical record as much as it is known and will introduce the readers to the great names of the time including, Pompey the Great, Cleopatra, Marcus Licinius Crassus, Cato the Younger, and Marcus Antonius. Come follow the adventure!
