Piso and the Præfect: Or, the Ancients Off Their Stilts

By Anonymous

Book Overview

"Piso and the Pr fect: Or, the Ancients Off Their Stilts" offers a satirical glimpse into the world of ancient Rome. Through the eyes of the witty and observant Piso, readers are treated to a humorous take on the lives and intrigues of the Roman elite. This is a historical novel that doesn't take itself too seriously. It imagines familiar historical figures behaving in utterly unexpected (and often ridiculous) ways.

Experience the ancient world as you've never seen it before. Discover a side of Roman history that the historians missed.
