A bridge collapses. A slave holds the truth. A jurist must choose between the law he loves and the woman he cannot own.
Rome, 121 AD. Under the glittering reign of Emperor Hadrian, the City of Marble is governed by the iron hand of the Law. But when a vital bridge over the Anio river collapses, killing innocent citizens, the structural failure reveals a much deeper rot.

Frigidianus, a brilliant Sabinian jurisconsult, is tasked with finding the truth. Was it a builder's negligence, or a merchant's deadly fraud? As he navigates the treacherous waters of Roman courtrooms and senatorial backstabs, he faces his most dangerous challenge yet: Gela.

She is brilliant, beautiful, and-under Roman law-she is an object. As Frigidianus fights to win her freedom (manumissio), he realizes that the law he has served his whole life is a double-edged sword that threatens to destroy them both.
Gelu et Iustitia is more than a historical novel; it is a masterfully crafted legal thriller. Written with impeccable historical accuracy, it plunges you into the heat of the Forum, where arguments are weapons and justice is a luxury of the elite.

Will Frigidianus follow the letter of the law, or will he risk everything for the sake of "the good and the fair"?

Perfect for fans of Steven Saylor, Robert Harris, and anyone fascinated by the origins of Western Justice.
