We pick up with Vesuvio six years after the first novel, Golden Voyager?. Vesuvio is now an established and wealthy member of Roman society, the owner of the land in Campania which was stolen from his family in the previous novel. Vesuvio also owns many slaves (despite his thought at the end of "Golden Voyager" that he would never own any), giving them easy means of freedom, and treating everyone with respect and kindness. Not yet thirty years old, Vesuvio is still unmarried, though he plans to free the beautiful slave Miranda, with whom he's recently fathered a baby boy. The novel opens with Vesuvio in Rome, arranging to free her - so he can legally marry her.* This is a VG copy of the 1st./1st. with considerable age & shelf wear reducing it to GD.*
