Description

Rome appears to be emerging from its turbulent past under the rule of Emperor Constantine. However, his plans to harness the power of the Christian Church are threatened when three courtesans from the Guild of Aphrodite are found dead, each with crosses etched on their foreheads and cheeks.

Helena, Constantine's mother, seeks the help of an 'agente in rebus politicis' - a spy - to protect her son's future. She recruits Claudia, a young woman with secret motives, who is placed as a wine-server in Constantine's household. As tensions rise, Claudia must navigate the complexities of court politics and uncover the truth behind the murders.

This gripping historical mystery explores the intrigue and deception of ancient Rome, where loyalty and power are constantly at stake.
