The Flames of Rome - BCE edition
by Paul Maier
Subtitled, "A documentary novel", here, Nero, life in those times, the games
at Circus Maximus, and the history of the early Christian church all come to
life. The author's approach to writing this book was to use only historical
personages, and to take no literary license. Fiction there is, but no historical
fact is contradicted, and the fill-in fictionalizing is done on the most
probabilistic lines. A stimulating and enjoyable read - all the more fascinating
because all of the named characters are authentically historical.
Book has grass-green boards with the title in gold on the spine.
