Description
GLADIATOR meets HEAT in a brutal, pulse-pounding historical heist set during the fall of Nero’s Rome.
Rome. 64 AD. The most daring heist in history is being planned by an unlikely crew - a former slave, a Vestal Virgin, a charioteer and a disgraced architect – each with their own personal motives. While Rome is distracted by the chariot racing and gladiatorial games of the Circus Maximus, the crew plans to rob the Imperial treasury under the Temple of Saturn. But when Emperor Nero sets fire to the city, they’ll be lucky to escape his wrath with their lives, let alone the loot. From Mark Sable (Graveyard of Empires, Miskatonic) and Giorgio Pontrelli (Miskatonic) CIRCUS Maximus is GLADIATOR meets HEAT - a blood-soaked historical thriller.
