Taurus33 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Salve! Your Primus Pilus has been kind enough to allow me to post this notice which many of you should find of interest, especially those looking for new novels of ancient Rome. Sand of the Arena, Book One of the new Gladiators of the Empire series, has just been released by McBooks Press and is now available in bookstores and at Amazon.com (both US and UK). Sand of the Arena is a realistic look at life and death in the ludi and arenas of the Empire in the 1st Century AD. The story follows the life of Quintus Honorius Romanus as he struggles to overcome the loss of his family and the loss of his identity to a scheming slave. The epic adventure that follows sends Quintus across the Empire in search of a new life and a new family. He finds both in the gladiatorial schools and arenas of Britannia, Pompeii, and Rome.
