The emperor Otho is dead by his own hand and his rival, Aulus Vitellius, occupies the imperial throne. However, a new challenge has arisen in the East - the legions of\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eTitus Flavius Vespasian have declared him their Emperor. In the dry heat of an August morning, Gaius Valerius Verrens prepares for his last day on Earth. Wrongly accused of deserting his legion on the field of Bedriacum, it seems he is destined to die a coward's death. Then the executioner's hand is stayed. Vitellius' enemies will spare his life if he pledges allegiance to Vespasian. Valerius - tired of the endless slaughter - agrees. And so he must battle his way south to Rome in order to persuade his friend Vitellius to stand down for the greater good. But this is civil war and this is Rome, and Valerius - his loyalties divided and branded an enemy of the people - is trapped in a maze of distrust, corruption, betrayal and blood-letting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Text Text__title3 Text__italic Text__regular Text__subdued\" aria-label=\"Book 5 in the Gaius Valerius Verrens series\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Formatted\"\u003eLarge paperback; Corgi 2015; light shelfwear; faint spine creases; tightly bound and clean within.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmic Cauldron Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43861903933518,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/0508\/3214\/files\/DSCN7158.jpg?v=1781323681","url":"https:\/\/cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au\/products\/enemy-of-rome-douglas-jackson","provider":"Cosmic Cauldron Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
