Good condition – sticker residue on dust jacket, otherwise clean, spine tight

The Emperor Claudius is dead. Nero rules, but his half-brother Britannicus has laid claim to the throne, and a bloody power struggle is underway. All Prefect Cato and Centurion Macro want is a simple army life among their brave and loyal men, but Cato has caught the eye of rival factions determined to win him to their side. To survive, he must play a cunning political game and lean on the one man in the empire he can truly trust: Macro. As the rebel faction grows, legionaries and Praetorian Guards alike are moved like chess pieces by powerful, shadowy figures, and a political game becomes the ultimate military challenge. The sixteenth novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Eagles of the Empire series, Day of the Caesars asks whether civil war can be averted, with the future of the empire resting in Cato's hands.
