In this ninth volume of Murena, Jean Dufaux and Philippe Delaby reconstruct Rome and expose the roots of Judeo-Christian culture. Nero fears to see the Roman people, horrified by the great fire of Rome, turn against him if he finds no culprits to feed him. Christians would be perfect scapegoats! Will Lucius Murena's relationship with the beautiful Claudia prevent him from fighting against this injustice?
