A Murder on the Appian Way

In the tumultuous climate of Ancient Rome, the power struggle between rival politicians Publius Clodius and Titus Milo culminates in Clodius's shocking murder along the Appian Way, igniting widespread riots and chaos. Accused of the crime, Milo's guilt is hotly contested, prompting Pompey the Great to enlist the help of Gordianus the Finder, a renowned investigator, to uncover the truth. As Gordianus navigates through a web of accusations and shifting loyalties, the question of who is truly responsible for Clodius's death remains central, challenging perceptions of villainy and heroism in the Republic.
