Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Having escaped the turmoil of his homeland, Septimius Severus finally arrives in the heart of the Roman Empire determined to build a new life. But Rome is unlike anything he imagined—a city where ambition is rewarded, loyalty is fleeting, and power belongs to those willing to pay its price.

As Severus begins his rise through the imperial ranks under the watchful eye of Marcus Aurelius, he discovers that every opportunity demands a sacrifice. Old loyalties are tested, dangerous rivalries emerge, and the woman he loves finds herself caught in a struggle neither of them can control.

To succeed, Severus must decide whether he can remain true to the ideals that brought him to Rome—or whether Rome will reshape him into the very man he once despised.

Inspired by the remarkable life of the African-born Roman emperor Septimius Severus, Gates of Rome is the second novel in The African Emperor, an epic seven-part historical fiction series blending political intrigue, military adventure, family drama and dry humour with immersive storytelling and unforgettable characters.
