Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger faces a daunting task as he navigates the complexities of his role as aedile. With elaborate games and expensive displays to stage, he must also address the more practical concerns of maintaining the city and its laws. A recent building collapse has brought him to the scene, where he seeks justice for those responsible. As Decius delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers evidence that suggests the collapse was deliberate, and that some of Rome's most powerful men may be involved. With his family and politicians urging him to drop the case, Decius must navigate a web of corruption and deceit to uncover the truth. This eighth installment in the series offers a fascinating glimpse into everyday Roman customs and the growing instability of the Republic.
