Fortuna at the Rudder: The Curious Adventures of Gaius Obsequens Dolo Tribune on the Rhine by Erik Hildinger
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 477 KB
Overview: This is the wryly humorous story of Gaius Obsequens Dolo, once a mediocre law student in Rome, now— because of his late father’s tax problems— a military tribune on the Rhine trying to prosper by means of institutionalized graft, administrative ineptitude and mutiny while the Roman Empire totters around him. The unwitting secret agent of a high government official, Gaius blunders through a peasant insurrection, two civil wars, three stints in jail, and the pursuit of an acrimonious lawsuit against his brother. He’s ably assisted by his cynical former slave and by his strong-willed wife, who, fortunately for him, is a human calculator.
