206027 I liked but did not love this, having gone to some trouble to find it after reading good reviews. I think my favorite of this genre is The Gift of the Golden Cup by Isabelle Lawrence, but it is doubtless hard to find.

185664 I looked around for a used copy of Gift of the Golden Cup -- $99 to $225! Ha. I think we'll check ILL.

424514 I've never read "the Gift of the Golden Cup," so I cannot comment on it - yet another title I'll have to add to my to-read list because of Constance! :) But not only did I like this series, I thought it gave such an accurate sense of the history and culture of first-century Rome, that I bought the entire series (in hardcover) and donated it to my public library.

185664 I put this on Jack's Christmas list based on your review! I'll update it after he and I read it.

206027 I wonder if there would be any demand for a reprint? I am still working on a list of hidden gems that need to be brought back into print. It really is a great book!
