The novel was spine-tingling, especially the march across the desert and the episode on his estate. I thought his wife's death a bit far-fetched, as well as bringing Peter and Paul in as supposed directors of the arson. Supposedly, some of the flame from the Vestals [hence Rome's Sacred Flame was used as title] was used to start the Great Fire, in the author's conception. Characterization was very good, but Vespasian was a bit too perfect. And, I didn't like his attitude towards Christians, but I suppose in that place and time, it was typical. I especially liked his OTT Nero--[shades of Peter Ustinov's film Nero crossed with a certain government figure of our day, but, who, as far as I know doesn't play the lyre and bore people with concerts] and his Uncle Gaius, who only wanted to be unobtrusive. I have no interest in Vespasian's earlier life in Fabbri's series, but found this novel was easily a standalone.
Highly recommended. ( )
