5.0 out of 5 stars the underside of Roman life., 12 Nov 2006
By libertus fan (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ghosts of Glevum (Libertus Mystery of Roman Britain) (Paperback)
Really enjoyed this very different view of Roman society - the underclass who are generally ignored. As usual, Rowe managed to combine real research with a cracking good tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Enjoy these Books Enormously, 13 Feb 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Ghosts of Glevum (Libertus Mystery of Roman Britain) (Paperback)

Rosemary Rowe is a pseudonym used by Rosemary Aitken, a highly qualified academic, who has written more than half a dozen best selling textbooks on English Language and communication. She has written fiction for many years under her married name.

The vomitorium was an essential part of all well to do Roman households, but when an honored guest is found dead in there during a banquet that is being held in his honour things start to look bleak for the owner of the household. That person is Marcus Septimus, a prominent citizen and friend of the emperor. He is also the patron of Libertus, the Pavement maker and part time amateur sleuth.

Even Marcus's status does not save him from being arrested and when Libertus is accused of being his accomplice, Libertus is forced to go on the run. Although he is now a Roman citizen he does not have enough faith in the Roman justice system to remain to be tried by the authorities and feels it is in his best interests to try to solve the crime himself.
