About this book

A spring morning on the Appian Way opens this story of Christian life in Rome in the year 303. The Roman centurion Flaccus Sertorius and his Greek secretary, Isidorus, discuss a new imperial edict against the Christians. Their talk reveals suspicion at court, conflicting religious loyalties, and rumours that reach as far as the Empress Valeria. Withrow places these exchanges among the roads, palaces and underground burial places of the ancient city.

Court intrigue also enters the public baths, where gossip about Fausta's hostility to Valeria draws Isidorus into an anxious conversation. Descriptions of Roman buildings and customs sit beside dialogue about influence, belief and danger. Written as a historical novel with a clear Christian purpose, the book will interest readers who want a story of the early Church alongside accounts of the material remains of Roman life.
