		In one instance, the author recounts of how soldiers on the frontier had to get their pay from Rome instead of local towns, as they were centrally paid from Rome, and would send emissaries to collect this and the barbarian tribes, knowing this, simply killed the emissaries.
		All of this glory that was once Rome is brought to life in rich, glorious color with the red wool of the Roman capes and crests making a bold statement wherever the legions of Rome marched.
		Rome is about the common people, from the wretched girl who finds herself a slave for no reason except from the accident of being born to the high class patrician woman who shrewdly manipulates these powerful men behind the scenes.

	RUBICON by Steve Saylor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Saylor’s latest novel is more an adventure story than a straight detective novel and as always his recreation of Rome during the turbulent last days of the Republic is accurate and meticulously researched.
		Too many writers of fiction set in Ancient Rome point out the similarities between their way of life and ours — apartment blocks, dinner parties, the dole, baths, central heating, noisy politics — and fail to point out the vast gulf that separates people of today with those of 2000 years ago.
		Saylor realises that slaves were merely property and not regarded as fully human by anybody, that people truly did believe in the Gods and saw the world in a very different way to modern folk.
