Book excerpt: Jamil, Eric and Alicia were best friends and they as far as they were concerned, they would do anything for each other; even die. However, when Rome unleashes a plot that would forever change their relationships, he also forces them to stand in front of a mirror and question just how strong their commitment to each other really is. They discover that even truth can contain deceit and are forced to fight through an avalanche of secrets that leave them on the verge of tearing each other apart. Truth is only truth if it is absolute and they can do nothing to stop the impact of their secrets as it wreaks havoc on all involved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What made the Romans laugh? Was ancient Rome a carnival, filled with practical jokes and hearty chuckles? Or was it a carefully regulated culture in which the uncontrollable excess of laughter was a force to fear—a world of wit, irony, and knowing smiles? How did Romans make sense of laughter? What role did it play in the world of the law courts, the imperial palace, or the spectacles of the arena? Laughter in Ancient Rome explores one of the most intriguing, but also trickiest, of historical subjects. Drawing on a wide range of Roman writing—from essays on rhetoric to a surviving Roman joke book—Mary Beard tracks down the giggles, smirks, and guffaws of the ancient Romans themselves. From ancient “monkey business” to the role of a chuckle in a culture of tyranny, she explores Roman humor from the hilarious, to the momentous, to the surprising. But she also reflects on even bigger historical questions. What kind of history of laughter can we possibly tell? Can we ever really “get” the Romans’ jokes?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman foundation myth has been the subject of classical scholarship for centuries. But much in the story of Romulus and Remus remains unexplained. This is the first English language book-length study of the Lupercalia, a religious festival central to understanding both the Roman foundation myth and the history of Rome. The festival of the Lupercalia was a male initiation ritual and shares a number of traits with similar rituals across the world. The agonistic elements in the story of Romulus and Remus and the Lupercalia can be compared to a number of Vedic rituals and traced back to a common Indo-European prehistory. The Lupercalia celebration remained a central annual event throughout the history of Rome and reflected political and social life in the city. Caesar used it to stage a refusal of kingship and Augustus restored its initiatory aspect, which continued in the period of the Empire. It survived all attempts of Christian prohibition to appear in the form of a carnival that criticized the pope in the late 5th century. In sum, the book offers a new interpretation of the Roman foundation myth and the Lupercalia. It follows the transformation of a unique ritual from its Indo-European roots through Roman history to late antiquity.

Book excerpt: In her debut collection, Rome-based writer and correspondent Megan K. Williams serves up the Eternal City as you've never seen it before, turning an insider's eye on the love, mystery and unholy chaos of Rome. In nine funny and insightful stories, Williams delves into the lives of women searching for meaning (and survival) in an ancient metropolis awhirl in honking Fiats, smouldering cigarettes and teetering high heels. Piercing, quirky, hilarious and heartbreaking, Saving Rome's women are trapped in a new-millennium Roman circus sideshow. One follows her husband to Italy only to become obsessed with an eccentric pet-shop owner. Another, a rattled mother, gives a carabiniere officer the finger over a parking dispute, and is horrified when he trails her home. Not to mention the jilted innamorata who pushes her tour-guide host to the thin edge of sanity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the simple snap of a football, Tony Magliocco's life changed forever. What seemed like the bet of a lifetime, has now turned into a true major league nightmare. A fifty-thousand by Monday or Tony and his friends will be floating in the East River kind of nightmare. Sitting across from Don Luciano, Little's Italy's mob boss, Tony and his friends Ralphie and Louie know they're in a nasty bind, and there is only one thing to do... Get the hell outof town! Welcome to Ken-"Friggin"-Tucky!!! Hiding from Don Luciano in Kentucky, Tony and the boys are like ducks out of water when it comes to the "down home living" on a farm. Finally banished to the field to plant corn, which of course they screw up, the guys are home sick and nearly broke when their tired, weary heads hit the pillows. KA-BOOM! Jumping out of bed, the fellas are scared to death. Thinking that Don Luciano has finally found them, they soon realize that something has crashed in the corn field. Running outside, Tony and the boys race through the dark field towards the smoldering hole. Their jaws hit the ground when they see a Time Machine resting at the bottom of the huge pit. Covering the time machine with hay, the boys come up with an idea to solve all their problems. With the sweet dreams of giant cannolis, the boys fall asleep unaware that life is about to deal them a bum hand. Later that night on a road near the farm... Getting out of the car appears down on his luck rapper T-Bone. T-Bone knows the old Ford has crashed and isn't going another mile. Looking for a place to sleep T-Bone spots the barn. BINGO! T-Bone knows he's hit the jack pot when he uncovers the Time Machine. WHAM! Joey, Ralphie and Tony are on T-Bone quicker than Fat Frank from Bensonhurst is on a sausage. Tony, Joey, Ralphie and T-Bone, And a whirl, bang and lots of smoke, fly back in time! In no time, the boys are standing in front of the one and only Julius Caesar. Meanwhile, unknown to Caesar and the boys, Brutus and his crew of stone cold killers have had the Time Machine hauled to the floor of the Senate. It also doesn't take long for Tony and the fellas and T-Bone to form an alliance to help Caesar defeat Brutus and the goons from the Senate. With cheering crowds, Tony and the boys with T-Bone are the new hero's of Rome. The guys are all smiles, with Tony and everyone jump into the time machine and haul their asses back to the future.

Book excerpt: During the Roman Civil War, as the forces of Pompey and Julius Caesar fight a series of battles in the provinces over control of the Republic, Rome itself is a hotbed of intrigue as those left behind wait for word. In this tentative and treacherous environment, a beautiful young seeress is murdered in the marketplace. Possibly mad and claiming no memory of her own past, Cassandra - like her namesake - is reputed to have had the true gift of prophecy and, as a result, she became a confidante of the rich and powerful. Gordianus the Finder, who had become obsessed with the woman and her mystery, starts to investigate her murder. As the political situation in Rome continues to decay, the citizenry veers towards ruin, and everyone waits for word out in the far off fields of war, Gordianus begins to peel away the veils of secrecy that surround Cassandra's life and death. What lies underneath involves one, possibly many, of the most powerful women in Rome and the truth could not only put Gordianus's life in danger but affect the very future of Rome itself.
