The Roman Empire was one of the most influential empires in world history. It dominated Europe and the Mediterranean for over a thousand years.

The Jackal's Mistress by Chris Bohjalian - Book Review by TBE
In the vast landscape of Civil War fiction, Chris Bohjalian’s “The Jackal’s Mistress” carves out distinguished territory through its unflinching exploration of humanity amid brutality.
