설명
A world of political intrigue and personal ambition unfolds as Tiro, a gifted secretary and loyal slave, navigates the turbulent waters of ancient Roman politics. As the trusted aide to a prominent senator, he finds himself thrust into a realm where power is the ultimate currency. Tiro's sharp intellect and keen observation skills serve as his greatest assets as he grapples with the dangerous game of loyalty and betrayal that defines the Roman elite.
The story deepens as Tiro encounters a whirlwind of characters, each with their own agendas and secrets, revealing the precarious nature of life at the heart of the Republic. With the shadows of conspiracies lurking at every turn, Tiro must rely on his wits to protect his master—and himself—against forces that threaten to unravel everything they hold dear. Through his eyes, the reader experiences the intricate dynamics of power, freedom, and submission in a society that often blurs the lines between them.
As tensions mount and the stakes rise, Tiro’s journey becomes not only a quest for survival but also a poignant exploration of identity and autonomy within a rigidly hierarchical structure. His role challenges the reader to reflect on the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of a civilization poised on the brink of monumental change.
