Set in Rome, the book is a sequel to The Secret of the Kingdom, a novel about the early days of Christianity. The protagonist and narrator is Minutus, the son of Marcus, the main character of the previous novel. Minutus is a Roman citizen striving to survive without political entanglements. In the novel, Minutus travels from Corinth to Britain, to Rome and then to Jerusalem. Through a boyhood friendship with Nero, he becomes a sometimes advisor, sometimes a tool, and sometimes a fool of the capricious emperor. A cruel fate makes him the commander of the menagerie that supplied the wild animals that tore his father and son to pieces, and the book was ostensibly written as a guide for his son, great-grandson of the Emperor Claudius. Plagiarism of the novelIn July 2008, news emerged that the novel had been plagiarized by TV-producer Colin Slater in his novel Lindum Colonia, published in 2003.[1] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://svenska.yle.fi/nyheter/artikel.php?id=134516 |title=''Waltari-roman plagierades i USA'' (24.7.2008) |language=sv |publisher=Svenska.yle.fi |date=2008-07-24 |accessdate=2012-08-04}} {{Mika Waltari}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Roman, The}}{{1960s-hist-novel-stub}} 7 : Novels by Mika Waltari|Historical novels|Novels set in ancient Rome|Books about Nero|1964 novels|Hodder & Stoughton books|20th-century Finnish novels |
