Son of Rome

By Matt Kinnaird

"I am not a great man, but I have met great men. The emperor Nero himself once punched me in the face."In ancient Rome, it's tough being poor, but Sextus Fidelius is just that. He has neither money nor prospects but he does have an ambition: to buy freedom for the love of his life, the slave-girl Rufilla. But how will he find the money?Perhaps his mysterious teacher, Hippias, can help him; perhaps his dead father's rich patron will show him the way. Perhaps he can live as an outlaw, join the army, even become a gladiator. But first he has to flee the city; to survive in a treacherous, hazardous world; to avoid all manner of temptation; and perhaps he will also discover the shocking secret of his birth.
