The Author Does Not Shy Away From The Gory Facts Of Life There, And The Myriad Forms Of Torture, Attack, And Death Are Described In Great And Overworked Detail. As In Previous Titles, Lawrence Includes A Wealth Of Information About Ancient Roman Life. This Installment Stands Well On Its Own, Though New Readers May Need To Sort Out The Group Dynamic.
