Publisher's Synopsis
His hope to return home has never been so close to reality as it is now. Overcoming the mountains and going out to a big river, Latium really starts to believe in his salvation and the opportunity to see Rome. His way goes through India, where he once again has to face the greed and envy of people living there. One of them is a traitor Andromachus with whom the fate brings him in an Indian city. The road to home turns out to be not as short as expected. Latium has to serve as a warrior, command and fight alongside with his new comrades, use stealth and finally flee from his former benefactors. Not far from the borders of the Roman province of Asia he meets with his friends, whom he has long believed to be dead, and now he is more than ever eager to return to Rome and benefit the city he was born in and its people, but many of his naive impulses fall on Rome citizens' deaf ears. In his hometown Latium has to face new challenges, which are much harder than war, betrayal and jealousy. One of these problems is a strange mysterious mark on his shoulder, which meaning has been hunting him for his entire life.
