El esclavo de los 32.000 denarios

Ilíberis, Betica province, year 170 AD. Medoro, accountant and slave of the proconsul Publius Cornelius Anulinus, has disappeared. Why does Lucius Cornelius Aselio, cousin of the proconsul and manager of his properties in his absence, launch venomous accusations against the accountant now that he is no longer here? Is it envy? Is it fear? Criso, son of Medoro, will fight for the honor of his father, facing Aselio, who aspires to the highest magistracy, the duumvirate. The elections are approaching and anything goes to gain power. Ambitious freedmen, greedy Roman women, brutal overseers, an Alexandrian fortune teller, and wealthy patricians confront each other in accusations of corruption that grow until they promote betrayal and murder, transcending the province of Baetica and reaching the emperor Marcus Aurelius. The fires of invasion devastate Baetica at the whim of the goddess Nemesis and Crisus will have to face fate when he discovers the terrible nature of Rome's power.
