Publisher's Synopsis

One of the world's first bestsellers, this historical novel contrasts the decadence of ancient Roman society with the simplicity and spiritual power of the earliest Christians. An epic tale of the romance between a young Christian convert and a Roman soldier, it mixes fictional and real-life characters such as Nero and the saints Peter and Paul.
