Rome: A Novel by Greg Woolf

A sweeping historical novel that brings the ancient city of Rome to life

In this epic novel, Greg Woolf takes readers on a journey through the streets of ancient Rome, a city of grandeur and decadence, of power and corruption. We meet a cast of unforgettable characters, from the emperor Augustus to the slave girl Gaia, and witness the rise and fall of one of the greatest empires in history.

A story of love, loss, and betrayal

At the heart of the novel is the story of Gaia, a young slave girl who is sold to a wealthy Roman family. Gaia is intelligent and ambitious, and she quickly becomes a trusted member of the household. But when she falls in love with the family's son, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue and betrayal.

A portrait of a city in decline
