	STEPHEN SAYLOR - BOOK HELP WEB PROFILE
		Although the Roma Sub Rosa series is what made him famous, he has also published seven erotic novels under the pen name Aaron Travis-including some set in Ancient Rome (no big surprise there).
		He explains it thus: "In Ancient Egypt, the rose was the emblem of the god Horus, later regarded by the Greeks and Romans as the god of silence.
		"SUB ROSA" (under the rose) has come to mean that which is carried out in secret.

	VILLA IVLILLA > SHOP AT THE VILLA > HISTORICAL FICTION
		In the ninth book in Saylor's "Roma Sub Rosa" series of mysteries set in ancient Rome, Gordianus the Finder has now retired from his life as an investigator of crime and political intrigue and has settled into peaceful domesticity with his family.
		But his newfound tranquility is soon shattered by a series of events brought on by the continuing struggle between Julius Caesar and Pompey for supremacy over Rome.
		Marcus Tullius Cicero's papers are the inspiration for Saylor's first novel, a fictionalization of the immortal Roman orator's first important case — his defense of well-heeled farmer Sextus Roscius on the charge of killing his hated father.

	glbtq >> literature >> Saylor, Steven
		In his Gordianus novels (known collectively as the Roma sub Rosa series) Saylor deftly weaves epochal events of Roman history together with the evolving story of the finder and his family.
		In addition to the Roma sub Rosa series Saylor has written two stand-alone mystery novels, both of which bring him back to Texas.
		Saylor's current project is Roma, scheduled for publication in 2005, which he calls "my big Micheneresque panoramic saga of the origins of Rome." He hopes to follow it up with histories of the city through the Empire, the medieval and renaissance periods, and "up to Fellini."

	Review Of The Venus Throw - Ancient Roman Empire Forums
		The Venus Throw is one of nine volumes in the Roma Sub Rosa series written by Steven Saylor.
		I've read "The Venus Throw" but I find that the first of the Roma Sub Rosa series, "Roman Blood" is much better, and It inculdes the person I'm named after, the infamous, Sextus Rocius!
		By the way Flavius, have you read the other Roma Sub Rosa, and I agree with Cincinnatus that Catalina's riddle is good, but I still recomend that you read "Roman Blood" before you read the others or the plot might get confusing.
