I have read another of Steven Saylor's Roman sub Rosa mysteries, The Judgement of Caesar, set in ancient Alexandria, when Julius caesar has to choose whether to support Cleopatra or her brother Ptolemy in the Egyptian Civil War -while he himself still wars with Pompey the Great in the Roman Civil War. Gordianus the Finder ends up right in the middle of the action, as he brings his very sick wife Bethesda back to Egypt, where she was born.
Another of these books, A Mist of Prophecies, is right near the top of my TBR pile. ******************************************************
