FINIS REPUBLICAE

   A historical fiction of ancient Rome. The story takes place 89-82 BC. It depicts the struggle of the Viatores family, rural plebeians, during the time leading up to and including the first civil war. Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla fought for control of the government and represented the deep economic divisions that were tearing the republic apart.

   Marcus Viatores and his father, Titus, know that they must acquire more wealth and rise in class if they are to survive. In contrast, Horatio Emilius Paulus, Marcus's friend from childhood, is rejecting his patrician heritage and siding with the Populares faction against the Optimates.

Inceptum finis, The beginning of the end

   ​The Roman army may have won the Third Punic War and given Rome control of the Mediterranean, but for Sempronius Viatores that’s not enough. Making a living in post-war Rome is getting tougher and tougher. Semper, as he’s known, doesn’t want to be a carpenter like his short-tempered father. He wants to buy a farm. Land is the secret of financial security. His father won’t hear of it.

   Semper has to overcome his father’s angry stubbornness, the fallout from his own infatuation with a fickle young woman, and a physical handicap that has defined his life. Politics seems to be an answer and Semper joins the ranks of the charismatic Tiberius Gracchus who raises a plebeian challenge to the power of the patricians and the Senate. However, tying his fate to the fortunes of Tiberius endangers both Semper and his family.

Triumphus Plebis, The Triumph of the Plebians​​ 

​   The last book in the loosely connected series set in ancient Rome.
Gaius Gabinus wants revenge. Returning from the Samnite War in 290 B.C.E, Gaius finds his family bankrupt and his father murdered. Milo Plotius, the moneylender, is responsible.
But Plotius, a rich and powerful senator, is protected by law. Gaius looks for help from the Tribunes of the Plebs. Only one offers any hope, and that tribune has his own agenda. 
   Forced to make his family his first priority, Gaius and his new slave, Silvanus, form an uneasy truce that, ultimately, will grow into friendship. They learn that Silvanus’s wife is being held hostage in Sicily, and only she knows where a hidden family fortune can be found. The lure of treasure convinces Gaius to undertake the rescue of his slave’s family.
Fame and wealth leads to tension between Gaius and Silvanus. As the helpful tribune draws Gaius deeper and deeper into Roman politics, events compel Gaius to choose between duty, friendship, and justice.​
