Narrative Concering Books The Furies of Rome (Vespasian #7)
AD 58: Rome is in turmoil once more. Emperor Nero has set his heart on a new wife but to clear a path for her, he must first assassinate his Empress, Claudia Octavia. Vespasian needs to tread carefully here—Nero's new lover, Poppaea Sabina, is no friend of his and her ascent to power spells danger. Meanwhile, Nero's extravagance has reached new heights, triggering a growing financial crisis in Britannia. Vespasian is sent to Londinium to rescue the situation, only to become embroiled in a deadly rebellion, one that threatens to destroy Britannia and de-stabilize the empire.Rating Epithetical Books The Furies of Rome (Vespasian #7)

I always enjoy reading the story of Vespasian's rise to the purple as portrayed by Robert Fabbri. Plenty of action as usual, and I love the characterisations which often make me smile. Stretching history somewhat to involve Vespasian in the Boudica revolt, is of course entirely forgiveable as it makes a great instalment in this epic series. Can't wait for the next one Robert, keep them coming.This series is getting more and more far-fetched. This time we are treated to a rather distasteful version of Boudica's revolt (a theme that has become horribly over-rehashed recently) - in which, of course, Vespasian just happens to take part. Vespasian and Sabinus become less pleasant and much less humane and the Druids continue to be stereotyped. All the characters are becoming more caricatures, really. Magnus remains likable (though typecast and repetitive) but it gets harder and harder to

A fantastic addition to a consistently excellent series on Vespasian. So much going on here - in Rome and in Britannia - and all of it is gripping. Highlights, and there are many, include a fabulously terrifying portrait of Nero.
Page turnerVespasian continues his progress through the perils of living in Nero's empire. He gets involved in the Icenni revolt and meets Boudicca. An enjoyable telling.
When in Rome..........!What a dreadful place ancient Rome was. Corrupt officials at every level, a cruel and amoral aristocracy, a debauched, sadistic and psychotic emperor, millions of poor debased citizenry and countless downtrodden slaves. Just how did such a debauched Society managed to conquer much of the known world and produce such wonderful architecture and art? This book doesn't explain that conundrum but it does give the reader an exceptional insight into the political machinations and
Story of Vaspasian's slow, but sure, rise to the purple continues. Fabbri took few liberties with his story and involving him in Baudicca's revolt in Britannia. but as Fabbri said in his rpevous book, which took simialr liberties, it was either make something up, skip period when Vespasian was out of public life or write about his boring life on farm. This way we get at least treated to some pivotal events of the time.As was already case in previous book Vespasian starts to see that there might
