Having not studied Latin or ancient history at school or university, my knowledge of the ancient world has come from reading Gore Vidal's Creation and Robert Harris' Imperium. Oh, and Asterix the Gaul and it's various sequels. I've also gleaned a bit from Shakespeare, although I've never been that keen on Shakespeare's histories, and while I've spent time looking at Roman ruins and ancient Roman and Greek sculptures in various places, that has not led to the acquisition of any knowledge about the history those things represent.

All this means that I came to this particular novel - the first in a series set in ancient Rome and featuring Gordianus the Finder - with very little knowledge of the time in which it is set and with no particular expectations. The first factor put me at something of a a disadvantage. The second factor was probably a plus.

Gordianus the Finder is a private detective of sorts*. He is engaged by the young Cicero to assist him in preparing the defence of Sextus Roscius, who has been accused of murdering his father. It is Cicero's first major case. The crime, the litigation and Cicero's defence of the accused are all factual, as is the political situation: specifically, the dictatorship of Sulla and the corruption of Chrysogonus, Sulla's former slave who in 82BC was placed in charge of proscriptions (that is, the identification and condemnation of enemies of the state). Saylor's imagination fills in the rest of the tale.

About three quarters of the way through the novel there is a lengthy piece of exposition - okay, let's call it an awkward information dump - which covers Sulla's rise to the position of dictator. I found it reasonably interesting at the time - because it's a topic I know nothing about - but it did interrupt the plot. Not only that, but two pages further on I couldn't remember the details of the history lesson I'd only just been taught. That was the most significant weakness of the novel. Otherwise, it was a success. The narrative is interesting and while I guessed one of the twists in the plot, I didn't guess the final big twist. In addition, the characters are well-drawn and the portrayal of Cicero made me want to read some of his works (I had the same reaction when I read Imperium, but didn't do anything about it. This time I've downloaded an edition of his Selected Works).

Overall, this was an enjoyable read, made the more enjoyable by reading it with my friends Jemidar and Hayes. I plan to read more of the series. This one gets 3-1/2 stars.

*I find it hard not to think of Gordianus as a Private Roman Eye, which will only make sense to those who have seen or heard Wayne and Shuster's Rinse the Blood Off My Toga (less)

Gordianus the Finder – a Roman detective with a lust for the truth, hard drinking, and his slave-girl Bathsheba – is hired by Cicero to unearth the facts behind a mysterious killing. Gentleman farmer Sextus Roscius is accused of killing his estranged father, but the truth of the matter may reveal corruption not only in the man’s own family, but in the noblest and richest families of Rome; the murder may involve even the dictator Sulla himself.

This is a superb historical detective novel. Gordianu...more

Nice historical mystery. I'll read more in this series.

It's set towards the end of Sulla's dictatorship and features a young Cicero preparing to argue one of his first cases, defending an accused parricide. I liked the "detective" and the descriptions of the city were vivid.

First in the Roma Sub Rosa ancient Roman mystery series featuring Gordianus, a disreputable Finder.

My Take
I seem to be in a very interesting rut! I keep reading novels that are set in the same places. I had just finished reading King's Gambit (SPQR, I) by John Maddox Roberts which is set in ancient Rome, and here I am plunging into, yup, ancient Rome. With the same historic characters, but at an earlier time with Cicero and Sulla.

It's a fascinating look from the average man's perspective of a p...more

"Roman Blood" is the first book of ancient rome crime mysteries written by historian Steven Saylor. The novel functions like an Agatha Christie mystery. Tough fairly good, the mystery itself isn't what stands out the most in the novel.

Most are good, but after the seventh book ( ninth if you count the short story collections) the series begins to falter. By A Mist of Prophecies, it begins to seem the author was contriving whatever personal crisis he could for the hero, Gordianus, as if Rome lacked crises enough to move along character....And plot! And his scholarship was NOT good enough to warrant a lot of the hype. While his take of events i...more

Fun historical mystery. Marred somewhat by moments of awkward writing. In particular, I refer to the passage around 75% of the way in during which the narrator drones on and on and on and on about the Social Wars and Sulla versus Marius. Prior to this moment the author had seamlessly mixed historical exposition and original plot. Docking half a point for this, I was so annoyed. My wrath, this review can haz it.

“Roman Blood” was recommended to me by a staffer at the Oak Brook, Illinois, Borders. Not something that I would have chosen of my own accord, I was pleasantly surprised at how decent it turned out to be. There are, to be sure, plenty of clichéd bits of stagecraft (i.e., wispy linens draped provocatively over sexy women, gladiators described in purely animalistic terms, street scenes that play on our preconceived ideas of ancient licentiousness and filth, etc.), but there is an underlying smartn...more

The advocate of Sextus Roscius, the well known Marcus Tullius Cicero, employs the help of a man named Gordianus to dig up information about the murder in order to prove his client innocent. Gordianus is known as ‘the finder,’ a man well experienced in finding facts no matter how well hidden or obscure. Of course, such facts don’t come easy. There is much lying, much danger, and tons of characters only out for their own benefit that all together paint a picture of a corrupt Roman aristocracy. It is a very perilous time in Rome, after all, which has only just caught its breath from the proscription of Sulla and his restoration of the aristocracy over the common people. In order to prove Sextus Roscius innocent, Cicero and Gordianus must attack those very aristocrats that now hold Rome in a powerful grip.

I avoided reading this book for a while because I didn’t want it to disappoint me. And it didn’t.

Saylor is clearly a historian. If it’s not obvious in his reader’s notes, it’s apparent in his clear delivery of accurate and compelling historical detail. You can almost see the dark dilapidation of the Roman Subura that is as hazardous as it is teeming with life, or see the immaculate scene of Carthage on the Rostra, or imagine the men in togas sitting around the Senate. What Saylor does is bring Rome to life, but not without insult and credit where credit is due. He doesn’t present a Rome that is glorious and magnificent as some are prone to do, but neither does it portray it as a place irredeemably corrupt as others would have it. Saylor gives his readers Rome in all her shameless glory without falling into some one of the most common traps of those who attempt to write historical fiction. A tendency of most historical writers is to accentuate what is ‘abnormal’ by today’s standards because they imagine it will help people understand the time period more, or respect it for how different it is, but this often backfires. I like how Saylor did not give excuses for Rome, but didn’t gloss over the many faults. Details are presented in an easy and matter of fact way, which I found helped me get into the time period more simply because it was all given so casually.

Roman Blood is not a ‘great men of Rome’ sort of book, though it does feature many of the people we know: Cicero and Sulla to name a few. They all play their roles, as great men do, but without stealing the spotlight. Gordianus is a great character because he is likable, realistic and humble. And very Roman. I also quite like the portrayal of Cicero in Roman Blood because I think it captured his peculiarities perfectly while still redeeming him at the end when it was shown to Gordianus the doubter that Cicero is more than just a picky nag and really is one of the greatest statesmen.

Roman Blood is as much mystery as it is historical fiction. It’s full of murder, perversion, ruthlessness, and doubt. There are enough twists and turns to make the plot interesting while not so many that you lose sense of the thing. In the end, you come to understand that everyone is guilty of something in some way and even an ‘innocent’ man has committed plenty of crimes of his own.(less)

I honestly wasn't quite sure what to think when I'd acquired Saylor's Roma Sub Rosa series.

This book features Saylor's fictional Gordianus the Finder, who is brought into the employ of the very real Cicero as a fact-finder in the case of Sextus Roscius, an accused parricide whom the young Cicero must defend. The case is real, and much of the details come from Cicero's own writings on it. However, for somebody already familiar with Roman history, this...more

Roman Blood is a very enjoyable book, especially for those who love cozy mysteries. The subject choice is excellent, based on an actual case of Cicero's. It is lovely to meet the orator when he is young. Saylor manages to get his main character in the same room with many other great personages of the day, so readers get to meet - or at least catch glimpses of those who were around. For the most part the historical characters seem realistic and we meet them at moments in the book which are satisf...more

A colecção Roma Sub-Rosa é uma das que mais gosto no que respeita a romances históricos que recriam a antiga Roma, pelo que decidi começar a relê-la e, devagarinho, terminar a colecção (o autor lançou tantos livros ultimamente sobre Roma, com prequelas e sequelas que tenho de confirmar quais li e quais me faltam).

A primeira vez que li “Sangue romano” de Steven Saylor, o primeiro volume escrito desta colecção, foi há uns 10 anos, na altura em que descobri Roma como uma das mais admiráveis e bonitas cidades europeias, que destilava conspirações, respirava política e continha a origem da civilização europeia como a conhecemos hoje. Nesse aspecto, não há como fugir: Steven Saylor é um excelente historiador e consegue, sem dificuldade, espelhar esta cultura de forma exemplar e cativante com pormenores riquíssimos sobre a vida dos romanos.

“Sangue romano” é um livro que o autor, tal como as suas restantes obras, escreveu com base em factos verídicos. Na verdade, Saylor baseou-se em textos milenares de Cícero acerca do seu primeiro julgamento, no qual defendeu Sexto Róscio – um homem acusado de parricídio que se vê envolvido numa enorme teia de conspirações políticas e interesses daninhos. Com base nestes escritos e nos testemunhos de grandes políticos que estiveram envolvidos e que assistiram a este caso, Steven Saylor criou uma personagem a quem chamou “Gordiano, o Descobridor”, um jovem adulto que vive de investigações privadas como sustento. Desta forma, é possível espreitar detalhes da vida romana no século I a.c. com grande pormenor, conhecer o modo de vida dos cidadãos, reforçar a importância de roma como berço da civilização europeia e opinar sobre a vida política desta grande cidade.

Assim, nesta envolvência da ficção com a realidade, somos transportados no tempo para uma época que tem tanto de semelhante como de diferente do que conhecemos hoje em dia, através da visão clínica de um detective e, em simultâneo, da ingenuidade que um homem abrange na entrada na realidade política. Determinado, rude, realista, apaixonado e com laivos de mau humor, Gordiano torna-se o guia ideal para nos dar a conhecer os meandros dos mistérios policiais históricos que se sustentam única e exclusivamente de dados verídicos.(less)

Not since McCullough's First Man in Rome have I read a story based completely on real events and enjoyed it so much. Like McCullough, Saylor focuses on the Late Republican phase of Roman History, which is probably the best documented periods; or at least the best document pre-empire period. There are pitfalls involved in setting a novel in this period however - the more well known the time, the less room you have to "fudge" it. Even more so when you are covering a documented event (Cicero's firs...more
