The re-creation of a vanished biography written by his household slave and righthand man, Tiro, Imperium follows Cicero's extraordinary struggle to attain supreme power in Rome. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn a cold November morning, Tiro opens the door to find a terrified, bedraggled stranger begging for help. Once a Sicilian aristocrat, the man was robbed by the corrupt Roman governor, Verres, who is now trying to convict him under false pretenses and sentence him to a violent death. The man claims that only the great senator Marcus Cicero, one of Rome's most ambitious lawyers and spellbinding orators, can bring him justice in a crooked society manipulated by the villainous governor. But for Cicero, it is a chance to prove himself worthy of absolute power. What follows is one of the most gripping courtroom dramas in history, and the beginning of a quest for political glory by a man who fought his way to the top using only his voice--defeating the most daunting figures in Roman history.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Gallery Books","offers":[{"title":"Imperium: A Novel of Ancient Rome | Robert Harris | Paperback | 9780743498661 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1715832","offer_id":50844326625538,"sku":"1715832","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81LLQHydtiL.jpg?v=1792703630","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/imperium-a-novel-of-ancient-rome","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
