Erase the Tablet: The Letter-Book of Antonia Caenis episodes
- I. Best of Patrons
There is a piece of stone in Rome with a mistake on it: six lines for Antonia Caenis, freedwoman of Antonia Augusta, best of patrons, put up by her freedman Aglaus with his children. The translator sets out the four things that are actually known about her, the legal oddity that follows from the third of them, the three layers the book is made of, and why a technical detail about ink is the only place this book and the other one touch.

About Erase the Tablet: The Letter-Book of Antonia Caenis
From the publisher's feed
ERASE THE TABLET is a novel by P.B. Mills, read in full. It is presented as the letter-book and late dictation of Antonia Caenis, freedwoman and secretary, who really lived, who really was kept by the emperor Vespasian in the place of an almost lawful wife, and whose freedman really did set up a stone to her. The documents do not exist. Everything else here is invention.
Nineteen episodes, read by two voices. The second book of the sequence that began with AUGUSTA: The Lost Commentaries of Julia Agrippina. The novel is free to read at pbmills.com.
