Le jugement de César

The political and moral complexities of ancient Rome are fascinating, but I wonder what drew Steven Saylor to this particular event as the story's backbone.

The novel paints a vivid picture of justice in a tumultuous era, but it made me think about how justice is so often intertwined with power. How did others interpret the moral questions raised?

The setting and characters feel so real, but I wonder how much of it is based on historical records versus creative interpretation. Would love to hear about the research process.
