Domitilla and the Goddess

Anthony Horne

In the late first century A.D. at the port of Ostia near Rome, a young lad, Ixus, works on the docks. He lives on his wits and learns about death the hard way. By chance he obtains employment at the Emperor’s menagerie. And so begins a story that will end only in tragedy.

Anthony Horne
