Summary
Caius Julius Caesar, now Dictator of Rome, has decided to revise the Roman calendar, which has become out of sync with the seasons. As if this weren’t already an unpopular move, Caesar has brought in astronomers and astrologers from abroad, including Egyptians, Greeks, Indians, and Persians. Decius is appointed to oversee this project, which he knows rankles the Roman public: "To be told by a pack of Chaldeans and Egyptians how to conduct their duties towards the gods was intolerable." Not long after the new calendar project begins, two of the foreigners are murdered.
Decius begins his investigations and, as the body count increases, it seems that an Indian fortune-teller popular with patrician Roman ladies is also involved.
This latest in the acclaimed series is sure to please historical mystery fans.

Loved the whole series!
Really enjoyed the series of SPQR! Not just the twists and turns of the story line, but historical background & the dry humour of the characters. Really hope there are more from the author in this series.

"Always a good thing to keep up your sword work"
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I never wanted it to stop.
Any additional comments?
The last in this excellent series - great investigative stories mixed into the vivid reconstruction of ancient Rome and Roman society, daily life and ideas. The eBooks are not available on Amazon.co.UK but the narration of John Lee makes listening to the often amusing tales a real delight. This one is no exception, set in Rome itself as the calendar is updated and Caesar is gathering detractors as the Republic totters to it's end.
I am going to miss the imaginative memoires of Decius Caecillius Metellus the Younger
