Continuing the saga begun in his New York Times bestselling
novel Roma, Steven Saylor charts the destinies of the
aristocratic Pinarius family, from the reign of Augustus to
height of Rome’s empire. The Pinarii, generation after
generation, are witness to greatest empire in the ancient
world and of the emperors that ruled it—from the
machinations of Tiberius and the madness of Caligula, to the
decadence of Nero and the golden age of Trajan and Hadrian
and more. Empire is filled with the dramatic, defining moments of the
age, including the Great Fire, the persecution of the
Christians, and the astounding opening games of the
Colosseum. But at the novel’s heart are the choices and
temptations faced by each generation of the Pinarii.
Steven Saylor once again brings the ancient world to vivid
life in a novel that tells the story of a city and a people
that has endured in the world’s imagination like no other.
