Roma

Blurb

Roma is a historical novel by American author Steven Saylor, first published by St. Martin's Press in 2007. The story follows two ancient Roman families, the Potitii and Pinarii, as members of successive generations bear witness to, as well as participate in, some of Rome's greatest historical events. The epic style is similar to James Michener's historical novels. The story takes Roman myths and intertwines them with historical facts and fictional characters.
Roma was followed in 2010 by a sequel, Empire.
