The Treasure of Juno Moneta - Paperback

by Axel Kamne (Author)

Lucius is a thief. He's not ashamed. It is the only way to survive in Rome. At least, the only way that suits Lucius.

But he refuses to lose at Green Gnaeus' lottery ever again.

He gathers a crew. A half-cyclops who slays monsters in the gladiator games, and who himself is regarded as a monster by most. A one-legged shadowfoot who won't stop lying. A slave risking her life in chariot races.

They plan a daring heist: the lottery pot, the greatest treasure in Rome, hidden deep within a temple. Unfortunately, the treasure is heavily guarded by the wrathful Praetorians, bodyguards of the mad Emperor Caligula. Even more unfortunately, the Praetorians are smelly goatmen.

The Treasure of Juno Moneta is a historical fantasy in ancient Rome. Featuring mythological creatures, togas, and - above all - gold.
