The Falco series is my favorite mystery series ever - kind of Sam Spade in Ancient Rome. Clever, especially if you enjoyed Ancient History class.

I just finished reading this book. We're back again in Rome, which is my favorite setting, as we get to meet again old friends and enemies of Falco. I feel it is important to read all the books in order, otherwise you may miss an important development in the relationships among the various characters. The Roman *police* was a fascinating topic to learn about. I found it interesting that the vigiles were supposed to be unarmed, just like the British "bobbies" before the 1970s. However, I got confused, because Petronius carries a sword. I will have to research this some more. Each new book makes me want to dig deeper into historical research.

Light reading, but very interesting about how the ancient Romans lived and conducted business set in with a mystery or two!
