Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dion and the Sibyls: A Classic Novel
The second Roman emperor, however, had not a forehead so broad and commanding nor so marble smooth as Napoleon's, and the whole countenance, at the time when our narrative begins, offered a more de cisively aquiline curve, with more numerous and much thinner lines about the mouth. Still, even at the age which he had then reached - in the year eleven of our Lord - he showed traces of that amazing beauty which had enchanted the whole classic world in the days of his youth. Three years more, and his reign and life were to go down in a great, broad, calm, treacherous sunset together.
