Publisher's Summary:
Still recovering from his previous assignment in Arabia, imperial agent Cassius Corbulo has been spending most of his time and money on women and wine. Unfortunately for him, word of his achievements has reached Emperor Aurelian's deputy, and he is sent north, tasked with smashing a counterfeiting gang.
Cassius tracks the criminals to the city of Berytus, where his investigations are hampered by civil unrest and uncooperative officials, not to mention the personal problems of his servant, Simo, and bodyguard, Indavara.
Despite this - and intense pressure from his superiors - the young officer eventually closes in on the gang. But his enemies will do anything to protect their profits, and Cassius and Indavara soon find themselves fighting not only for the emperor but for their very survival.

An Incredible Roman Read!
This fantastic book by Nick Brown is the 5th instalment of the wonderful and exciting "Agent of Rome" series.
The historical details concerning this great story are superbly explained within the author's note at the end of the book.
At the beginning of the book you'll find a wonderful map of the Roman empire in AD 273, and also you'll fine a nice explanation about the use of Time and Money.
The story itself is set in the year AD 273, and our main character, Imperial Agent Cassius Corbulo, finds himself in Bostria in the Province of Arabia, along with friends and companions, his personal bodyguard Indavara and his servant Simo, when all of a sudden at the beginning of the tale they are all attacked by three assailants who are trying to assassinate them, with especially Cassius Corbulo as their main objective, or so it seems.
After their near escape with death Cassius Corbulo is sent north by Emperor Aurelian's deputy to smash down a counterfeiting gang.
When they eventually track them down, after much civil unrest and uncooperative officials, which will hamper their investigations temporarily, and also from immense pressure from superiors, Cassius Corbulo and his companions close in on the gang.
What will follow is a very gripping story with thrilling pictured battle scenes, along with great interaction between all the characters, and all this told in a fascinating delightful style, all these factors combined are making this tale such a fabulous book to read.
Very much recommended, for this is for sure "An Incredible Roman Read"!
Another winner
After some harrowing and dangerous assignments, Cassius Corbulo is looking forward to a seemingly less life threatening job that will utilize his growing investigative skills. So, along with his imposing bodyguard Indavara and his Christian slave Simo, Corbulo heads to the town of Berytus to uncover a counterfeiting ring. Seemingly is the operative word in the opening sentence as the situation in this small peaceful town is hardly that. Civil unrest, dangerous counterfeiters and a mysterious group of perceived assassins who have followed our trio make for some exciting action while Corbulo meets dead end after dead end looking for the counterfeiting gang.
The most intriguing aspects of this the 5th volume in the Agent of Rome series is the continual growth of the the three main characters, especially of Simo and Indavara. Simo's ever growing faith puts him at loggerheads with Corbulo on numerous occasions.
