From your descendants shall spring the sky’s flaming cross.” An enthralling tale set against the pageantry and decadence of first-century Rome, The Spear of Longinus chronicles youthful tragedy, the quest for revenge, hard-fought military campaigns, and burgeoning love, as well as the mysterious prophecies that haunt Tiberius Longinus ─ the Roman centurion who speared Jesus of Nazareth on his cross of sorrows. Unfolding throughout the far-flung reaches of the Roman Empire, the sweeping epic – from the imperial reign of Augustus to that of Vespasian — is a riveting saga of the hero’s adventures and his pursuit of the love of Helena Rufinus, his beguiling childhood sweetheart and the heroine of Rome. Aficionados of Ben Hur and The Robe will relish this historical novel’s exotic settings, deadly intrigues, deep friendships, enduring love, and the hero’s reluctant journey toward faith. All inexorably intertwine during an era when Rome’s pagan emperors vowed to eradicate the Jews and the fledgling Christian religion. About the author (2013) Reynold J. Levocz, whose studies in ancient history as well as on-site research throughout Europe imbue the novel with rich historical detail, is a retired executive, entrepreneur, inventor and first-time author. Married, the father of four children, and blessed with sixteen grandchildren, Ron Levocz resides in the rural setting of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, in the historic Brandywine River Valley. He is writing a second novel about Constantine the Great and the impact of the spear of Longinus on Constantine’s destiny.
