A Murder on the Appian Way by Steven Saylor

3.0

Amazing subject matter and it was amazing being taken through the Caesarian period and being introduced to some of the most famous Romans in the history of the Republic/Empire. The only thing lacking was a plausible narrative; it details an incident, but then has the protagonist proceed to mostly bumble his way around as the leaders of the time randomly request his presence in various impromptu meetings (and this pattern lasts for the rest of the book). Still well worth reading though.
