Roma Sub RosaRoma Sub Rosa is a series of mystery novels by Steven Saylor set in, and populated by noteworthy denizens of, Ancient Rome. The series is noted for its historical authenticity. Gordianus the Finder, Saylor's fictional detective, interacts with non-fictional citizens of the Republic including Sulla, Cicero, Catullus, Pompey, Julius Caesar, and Marc Antony. Gordianus has a somewhat unusual family structure: his wife, Bethesda, is a former Egyptian slave; his elder adopted son Eco a former deaf-mute who has followed in his father's footsteps as an investigator; his younger adopted son Meto who has estranged himself from his father by becoming a soldier; and his intellectual daughter Diana who has a weakness for well-built but dim-witted men...which is shared, to some extent, by Meto. Titles Gordianus also appears in a novella, A Gladiator Dies Only Once, and several short stories. External links
