Publisher's Synopsis
My name is not Gaius Romulus Saccius, though that is how almost all my patients during my long medical career knew me. I've lived in Rome for many years, but my origins are in the province of Palestine.
As a young man, many Romans thought I hailed from Judea. They were not correct. I was born and raised in a small village in Galilee, many miles away.My journey from young Galilean to well-established Roman physician was a long one which brought me into conflict and contact with some rather remarkable people, including Caesar Elagabalus.
As the old curse says, I have lived in very interesting times.
