Told from the first-person point of view, and closely following actual historical events and personalities, this is the story of Minutus Manilianus, a Roman knight who comes to manhood during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Skillfully recapturing the essence of the period in its vast tapestry of color, drama, beauty, and menace, Waltari weaves a masterful plot beginning in the eastern Mediterranean port city of Antioch. From there we follow Minutus as he makes his way to Rome and his first love, his travels to Britain where he is enlisted with a legion fighting the savage Celts (where he is also involved in another love affair), and eventually back to Rome and Greece. In the background, always veering in and out of the story, are the fervent followers of a cult named for a Jew who was executed in Judaea many years before. With the passage of time, these fanatical followers of Jesus continue to emerge around him…some among his own family. Meanwhile, Minutus becomes ever more tightly enmeshed within the circle of friends surrounding the young Nero, heir apparent to the throne.

You’re knockin’ ‘em outta the park, E!
With your range of interests you might like alnilam’s upload by the same author - “The Egyptian.”

How kind of you Euripides! Thanks, always.

@caesar963: Ooh. Thanks! Sounds fantastic. I’ll add it to my to-read pile. Did you know Waltari also has a book called The Etruscan? After Lavinia by Le Guin, I decided to go further back and look for books set in Etruria and found that one. I was practically giddy with excitement! There’s such a dearth of literature on Etruria.

@marcodiluce: You’re most welcome.

Thank alnilam! Le Guin normally deals with the far future, so that’s interesting (like Atwood taking on Penelope). Pompeii was originally an Etruscan resort town (or a town at any rate - those fun-loving Romans may have re-purposed it as a resort).

Hi Euripides - seeing that you are still on and active with many seldomly compiled works just there for the picking all in one place - might you still be able to still share Mika Waltari’s, “The Roman,” amongst many others? Thanks for your wonderful collection.
