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.
