Komod

Komod

Simon Turney

Rome worshiped him, the gods protected him, but love betrayed him. "A fascinating, engaging and suspenseful story about one of Rome's most notorious emperors."

Second century AD. Rome is enjoying a period of stability and prosperity. The borders of the Empire are growing, and after many years Emperor Marcus Aurelius has his natural heir, the strong and brave son Commodus. But he is not a fan of warfare and conquering new territories, but of wrestling and gladiator fights. Two decades of warfare weakened Roman supplies, and from the east came a terrible plague that claimed thousands of lives every day. Real disaster threatens the empire, the time of wealth and power slips into hunger and pain. Only one man can stop the fall of the Empire. For Rome, he is their emperor Commodus, their Hercules. But Komod himself is on the verge of collapse. After numerous losses and betrayals, he retreats into a dark mood, and when the darkness takes over, only one woman can rescue him from it. Her name is Marcija. For the Romans, she is the emperor's mistress. For Komodo, she was everything.
