The Altar of Victory: A Tale of the Late Roman Empire
No Customer Reviews
In the late 4th Century, Gratian , the pious teenaged son of a brutal, but efficient emperor, unexpectedly ascends the throne of the western Roman empire, and must quickly find ways to earn the respect of his generals and army if he is to survive. The Altar of Victory traces his unlikely rise, and the people he must decide whether to trust; among them, Merobaudes , a clever Frankish general who may be loyal only to himself; Symmachus , a senator who strives to preserve Roman greatness by upholding its religious and civic traditions; Justina , an empress who would put her son on the throne; and Ambrose , a pragmatic Christian bishop who sees in the young ruler an opportunity to advance his own agenda. What each of them would sacrifice upon the Altar of Victory, literally or figuratively, would determine the future of the empire and Rome itself.
