I really liked the setting and the sense of history that was underlying the story line.
I am listing all the books in Steven Saylor's Rosa sub Roma series except the last one, which is on my wish list! This was a very enjoyable series...well written, educational (at least for me who previously had no interest in ancient Rome) and fun to see the progression of Gordianus the Finder's life.
You may want to order all of them because they're a fast read and, to me anyway, very addictive.

this offers you sex, violence, and a worldly acceptance of the varieties of human behavior.
