A STOLEN WORKSHOP. A SMASHED REPUTATION. A CITY ON THE BRINK.
Rome, 250 CE. The "Crisis of the Third Century" is beginning to fray the edges of the Empire. As emperors rise and fall in blood, the ancient laws of the city are being pushed to their absolute breaking point.

When Nikomachos, a hardworking freedman, wakes to find his bronze workshop stripped bare and his night-watchman left for dead, he expects justice. But the men he recognized among the thieves aren't common criminals-they are the slaves of his former master and current patron, the powerful Gnaeus Naevius Celer.

In a city where status is everything, a freedman who sues his patron risks more than just his business; he risks social annihilation.

THE CASE OF A LIFETIME Left at the scene of the crime is a mysterious waxed tablet, its scratched words dripping with malice. It transforms a simple theft into something far more dangerous: a calculated affront to Nikomachos's honor-an iniuria.

Enter Pulvillus, a legendary 73-year-old jurisconsult, and his sharp-witted apprentice Trebonius. Together, they must navigate a maze of "noxal" liabilities, fraudulent manumissions, and the declining power of Rome's traditional courts to find a path to restitution.

Can the law survive when the institutions that uphold it are crumbling?
Furtum et Iniuria is a masterfully researched historical novel that brings the complex world of Roman Law to life. Perfect for fans of Steven Saylor and Robert Harris, this final volume of the Roman Law Series is a gripping exploration of crime, honor, and the enduring power of justice.
