Marcus and Perilla are off to Castrimoenium to visit Marcus' stepdaughter, Marilla, indulge in a wine-tasting contest at Pontius' against a sheep, explore the gneral environs, oh, and solve a couple of murders along the way.
Marcus' habitual case-sleuthing with Perilla drops off compared the the last two novels and this is no bad thing though he manages to replace it somewhat with Marcia Fulvina's thoughts, the elderly aunt of the current senior consul, Persicus, the latter to whom Wishart approportions buffoon-esque tendencies.

 Sejanus : Reviews, Prices, Deals
The immediate one is to derail her son Tiberius's plan to name as his successor the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Sejanus, who is his deputy in Rome.
This is accomplished when Corvinus discovers and anachronistically reveals to the emperor that his son Drusus died not from natural causes but from a slow poisoning, arranged by Sejanus, from a compound of antimony known as stibium, then used in cosmetics.
The plot's intricacies are well constructed, and as they are unravelled the reader is presented with a panoply of graft, corruption, and greed at all levels of imperial administration.

 Life of Marcu Brutus
Marcus Brutus was descended from that Junius Brutus to whom the ancient Romans erected a statue of brass in the capitol among the images of their kings with a drawn sword in his hand, in remembrance of his courage and resolution in expelling the Tarquins and destroying the monarchy.
However, Marcus Favonius, who had been an ardent admirer of Cato, and, not so much by his learning or wisdom as by his wild, vehement manner, maintained the character of a philosopher, was rushing in upon them, but was hindered by the attendants.
Here Marcus, the son of Cato, was slain, fighting and behaving himself with great bravery in the midst of the youth of the highest rank and greatest valor.

For anyone new to David Wishart's main character Marcus Corvinus and they have read any of the "Falco" novels by Lindsey Davis, the Marcus Corvinus novels are in the same "style:" A Roman sleuth whose manner of speech is out of character with the surroundings he lives in i.e.
Corvinus, his protagonist in the earlier books, such as The Lydian Baker, has the same laconic, wise-cracking manner of the gumshoes who centuries later tread the equally sun-baked streets of Los Angeles--but the smells, sounds and sights of ancient Rome are conjured up with continuing brio.
When Marcus, a youthful cavalry man in the Roman army, is promoted to Commander of the elite "Foxes" squadron, he tries to put into practice his enlightened views of co-operating with the British.

 David Wishart: A Vote for Murder - Bøger
Marcus Corvinus is already restless after a couple of days in the Alban Hills, where he’s visiting his stepdaughter, Marilla; a regular seat at Pontius’ wine shop is all very well, but bucolic leisure has its limits.
So when Corvinus is asked to investigate the brutal slaying of Vettius Bolanus, one of two candidates for the forthcoming censor’s elections, he jumps at the chance.
Corvinus feels certain there’s a political motive for the murder, and the obvious suspect is Concordius, the rival candidate.

It appears that they were named literators by Messala Corvinus, in one of his letters, when he says, "that it does not refer to Furius Bibaculus, nor even to Sigida, nor to Cato, the literator," [857] meaning, doubtless, that Valerius Cato was both a poet and an eminent grammarian.

M. Valerius Corvus, one of the most illustrious men in the early history of the Roman Republic, was born about B. 371, in the midst of the struggle attending the Licinian laws.
After obtaining the consent of the consul, Valerius accepted the challenge, and as he was commencing the combat, a raven settled upon his helmet, and as often as he attacked the Gaul, flew in the face of his foe, till at length the barbarian fell before the sword of Valerius.
The consul presented Valerius with ten oxen and a golden crown, and the grateful people elected him in his absence, consul for the next year, although he was only twenty-three years of age.

 Marcus Brutus E-book by Plutarch
This disorder caused an unevenness in the line, and the legions got severed and divided one from another; that of Messala first, and afterwards the other adjoining, went beyond the left wing of Caesar and having just touched the extremity, without slaughtering any great number, passing around that wing, fell directly into Caesar's camp.
For in the first, that part of the enemy which was beaten was killed on the spot; but of Cassius's soldiers that fled, few had been slain, and those that escaped, daunted with their defeat, infected the other and larger part of the army with their want of spirit and their disorder.
Here Marcus, the son of Cato, was slain, fighting and behaving himself with great bravery in the midst of the youth of the highest rank and greatest valour.
