4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Historical Fiction, July 27, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Roman: The Memoirs of Minutus Launsus Manilianus, Who Has Won the Insignia of a Triumph, Who Has the Rank of Consul, Who Is Chairman of the pries (Hardcover)

I found this book at a Library Sale. I provides an insight into the life and times of Rome at the time of about 50 AD and interweves Christ's story into the life of Rome. The book is written from the voice of a Roman Knight and is his autobiography. Insight is provided on the Roman Senate, Emperors Claudius and Nero. I wish I could obtain the other books in this series. In our fast paced lives, we often neglect religion and faith. This book shows the how important religion and faith are to us without being preachy

One of my favorite novels by this wonderful author. If you liked the Egyptian you will also like The Roman. In the line of I, Claudius. A great lesson in both history and Fiction.
