Dominus

"Dominus" by Steven Saylor is a breathtaking story about the history of Rome, the spread of the Christianity and the love and lives of the fictional citizens. 

In the greatest time of the empire Rome, Pax Roma reigns from Gaul to Greece and from Britannia to Egypt. But even though the life of the Pinarius family oversees a golden time, the history will soon change. Wars, plagues, famines, fires and chaos will come. 

But the most revolutionary is the Christians, disseminating seditious ideas in society. They insist that there is only one God and that everyone in the world should worship this one God. Some of the emperors are tolerant, others deal with the Christians with bloody persecution. 

But then one emperor is becoming a Christian himself. The revolution now will begin and it will change the world. 

With “Dominus” Steven Saylor weaves the true history of Rome through more than 160 years and seven generations. The history of “Dominus” is gracefully researched and the writing of Steven Saylor is breathtaking.
