John Maddox Roberts: The Catiline Conspiracy (USA 2001)

From the Publisher:
It was a summer of glorious triumph for the mighty Roman Republic. Her invincible legions had brought all foreign enemies to their knees. But in Rome there was no peace. The streets were flooded with the blood of murdered citizens, and there were rumors of more atrocities to come. Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger was convinced a conspiracy existed to overthrow the government-a sinister cabal that could only be destroyed from within. But admission into the traitorous society of evil carried a grim price: the life of Decius's closest friend... and maybe his own.

From the Publisher:
WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE...
It was a summer of glorious triumph for the mighty Roman Republic. Her invincible legions had brought all foreign enemies to their knees.

But in Rome, there was no peace. The fetid streets ran with the blood of murdered citizens-while whispered rumors spread of even worse atrocities to come. High-born, low-ranking civil servant Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger was convinced a conspiracy existed to overthrow the government - a sinister cabal that could only be destroyed from within. But admission into the traitorous society of evil carried a grim price: the life of Decius's closest friend...and perhaps his own as well.

"Effectively combines my two favorite kinds of genre fiction... SPQR has all the wild imaginative stimulation of the best detective fiction... I had a wonderful time" - Marion Zimmer Bradley, author of THE MISTS OF AVALON
