About This Book

Two young men attached to a Roman household uncover a manuscript that exposes a scandalous episode in the lives of two orphaned sisters and implicates a powerful, profligate patron. Alarmed by hints of secret reading, furtive surveillance, and past seduction, they argue over honor, rivalry, and responsibility before resolving to protect the younger sister from exploitation. The narrative alternates between tent-side confidences, palace spectacle, and the written confession, tracing schemes, misjudgments, and the practical—often moral—decisions made to secure guardianship for the vulnerable siblings.
