Catilina’s wapen (Roma Sub Rosa)

The political landscape of ancient Rome adds so much tension, but I wonder if the author drew from specific historical events or figures to craft the plot.

The puzzle-like nature of the mystery kept me hooked, but I’m curious if the author intended for readers to decode some of these secrets along the way.

His character feels layered, and I wonder what inspired the nuanced depiction — was it based on historical sources or creative interpretation?
