A fascinating and truly unique survey of two of the world's most significant and influential civilisations spanning some 2000 years from the development of the Greek alphabet to the sack of Rome and a dinner date with Attila the Hun in 450 CE. Some ninety Greeks and Romans have contributed to the book with reports culled from 130 separate works. In addition to literary sources--history, letters, poetry, drama, science, medicine, philosophy--the book also mines epigraphy, graffiti, archaeology and the visual arts to give as rounded a reportage as possible. 'Modern' contributions come from the Bamboo Annals, Shakespeare, Raleigh, Browning, Heine, Houseman, Orwell, the Ventris Papers and from the excavations at Pompeii, Vindolanda and the London Bloomberg site.

Considering that York was always an important Roman city there are few books available that are devoted specifically to the Roman occupation, even though it lasted for over 300 years and played a significant role in the politics and military activity of Roman Britain and the Roman Empire throughout that period. The few books that there are tend to describe the Roman era and its events in date by date order with little attention paid either to why things happened as they did or to the consequences of these actions and developments. This book is different in that it gives context to what happened here in the light of developments in Roman Britain generally and in the wider Roman Empire; the author digs below the surface and gets behind the scenes to shed light on the political, social and military history of Roman York (Eboracum), explaining, for example, why Julius Caesar invaded, what indeed was really behind the Claudian invasion, why was York developed as a military fortress, why as one of Roman Britain’s capitals? Why did the emperors Hadrian and Severus visit the fortress? You will also discover how and why Constantine accepted and projected Christianity from here, York’s role in the endless coups and revolts besetting the province, the headless gladiators and wonderful mosaics discovered here and why the Romans finally left York and Roman Britain to its own defence. These intriguing historical events are brought to life by reference to the latest local archaeological and epigraphical evidence, to current research and to evolving theories relating to the city’s Roman treasures, of which can be seen in the Yorkshire Museum in York, or in situ.

Harry Bobbins has been the right hand man of Robert Bittlesworth for better than a decade. First in his hometown of Truro, unwittingly assisting a Home Office investigation. Then in London, as Robert's official butler and unofficial enforcer. Now he undertakes confidential investigations while his employer is overseas, and that means keeping his network of informants active. Miss Davies is an excellent informant, which is a much better thing to focus on than how distractingly attractive she is. Lily Davies still remembers the first time she saw Bobbins. She'd knocked on the door to ask after the laundry, and he'd towered over her like Poseiden risen from the sea, shirt sleeves turned up and brows lowered in suspicion. Butlers are intimidating by nature, but usually by dint of personality and station rather than sheer physical brawn. However, she'd found his rare smiles far too likable, and he'd done her too great a service for her to ever repay. Yet now she must turn to him again in the hopes he will do her another favor.

An unlikely couple is paired at a summer house party. Their budding friendship is cut short by a horrid accident. Will they be able to find love through tragedy? Charlie Bittlesworth is invited to a summer idyll and hopes to use the time to sell some of his premium livestock. He thinks it a small matter to pay some kind attention to the cousin of his hostess, but the damndest things come out of his mouth when he is around the woman. Charlotte Ayres has been cloistered in her father's academic circles at Cambridge all of her life. She feels out of her element at her cousin's estate, but has never met a man quite like the one she is paired her with for her stay. Could she have an unexpected life with this handsome stranger? Excerpt: He rolled onto his side and propped his head on a hand, mirroring her pose. "How would you like to spend the rest of the day?" If she were to be completely honest, it would be exactly like this. Other than her worry over his hands, something he didn't seem concerned about, this quiet retreat was the perfect expression of the friendship that had grown between them. It didn't feel necessary to talk or do anything in particular. She was, she thought, more at ease with him than anyone else of her acquaintance. As though she could tell him anything. It made her mull what she hadn't ever told anyone. Would she be able to tell him? Further, did he feel the same about her? She thought he did. He complained, even from that first day, that he told her things that he didn't expect to tell anyone. "Why don't we play a game of secrets?" she asked. His eyebrows went up. "You mean like Questions and Commands?" "Yes, I suppose. Like Questions and Commands." "Intriguing. Who goes first?" She laughed. "As you seem so enthusiastic, why don't you go first?" "Very well. Who was your first kiss?" She bit her lip. This was certainly proving to be a quick test of her ability to tell him things. She could forfeit the question and accept his command. Or she could just be honest. "I haven't kissed anyone." "You- That is the saddest thing I've ever heard. The boys at Cambridge are idiots." Smiling, she said, "My father takes some pains to keep me away from the boys at Cambridge." "Smart man, I suppose. But still, any man of sufficient imagination would find some way to accomplish it." She shook her head. "My turn. Who was your first kiss?"
