A Toga of a Different Color (Alexander the Alabarch)

Rome, 12 A.D. As darkness reigns over the Palatine Hill, a man in an augur's striped toga removes the famous statue of Victory from its temple. He says it's for a procession, but the Victory disappears not to be seen again. At first, Alexander thinks little of it. He's a Jew, so a Roman goddess has nothing to do with him. Then a Jewish art dealer is arrested for the theft. As the man's patron, Alexander decides he must find the Victory if he is to free his client. At Alexander's side are his boyhood friends: Claudius the emperor's ill-loved nephew, Rutilus the poorest patrician in Rome, and Agrippa a Jewish prince and a bit of a rogue. Standing in their way is an elite group of Praetorian guards who don't want the art dealer freed. But why? Seeking the stolen statue soon becomes a very dangerous pursuit.
