WHEN IN ROME

In the arena gladiators butchered each oiher. In the taverns women danced wantonly while men lost themselves in wine and revelry.

In the great palace peasants joined with nobles in exotic pagan rites - and in every dark corner of the city there was violence and intrigue.

And all in the name of Cola di Rienzo, the new Master of Rome -- the man who was going to free the city from sin!

“Those who love this type of historical novel, with more than a sprinkle of sex and violence will find Bettina Colonna a story of their liking staged in the splendid decay of 14th Century Rome."
