Description: Background Story
It is 128AD. Emperor Hadrian announces a major festival to celebrate his
first ten years as Roman emperor. The main attraction is a chariot race
spanning the entire empire from Rome to Germania.
Famous charioteers from across the vast Roman empire including
Greece, Egypt, Judea, Carthage, Hispania, Gaul, Macedonia and Britannia
have assembled in the Eternal City. Spectators in their thousands are
streaming into the Eternal City for the inaugural race in the Circus
Maximus.
The air is tense with excitement and anticipation.
The night before the first race, one of the charioteers from Judea is
found murdered in his quarters. The charioteer had been tortured and
crucified to the room’s window. An unknown woman’s body is also found on
the floor. The woman’s body had also been laid out on the floor in a
mock crucifixion with outstretched arms.
The head of the emperor’s Praetorian guard, Quintus Octavian,
suspects Rome’s newest religious sect, the Christians of masterminding
the murder. Barely a century ago, their leader had also been crucified
in Judea. This might be an act of revenge.
Emperor Hadrian is deeply troubled by the murders. He fears a
bloodbath in Rome and in restive Judea. It had only been a few decades
since the Roman legions destroyed Jerusalem, the Judean capital and
crushed the Hebrew rebellion. The emperor fears another uprising in
Judea which could spread to the other conquered Roman colonies like
Carthage and Gaul.
The emperor asks Quintus Octavian to take the position of the
murdered charioteer and represent Judea in the upcoming chariot race.
As Quintus continues his investigation, he is drawn inexorably into
the murky world of Roman politics with its powerful noble families who
are always vying for power and wealth. It soon becomes obvious to him
that the murders are much more than a simple Christian conspiracy.
Quintus has to solve two problems at the same time. He has to keep
winning each race to stay in the Championship. He also has to solve the
twin murders without himself becoming the next victim……..
