Lucius Murena is a young Roman nobleman in the court of Nero, and he finds himself caught up in the deadly politics of the imperial family, with poison, betrayal and murder at every turn. It is Roman history as a political thriller, and it follows the reign of Nero from its hopeful beginning into its bloody decline.
Philippe Delaby's painted art is lavish and detailed, and the historical research is meticulous. It is the most beautiful comic about ancient Rome, and one of the most gripping.
