The Gold of Tolosa

Why it’s on the list: The classicist’s first novel, and the opening of the Lucius Panderius series — late-Republican Rome from the point of view of an agent sent looking for a missing treasure.

Where I saw it: Shown in a screenshot of Rome books inside the @typesfast history-books thread on X that Kyle saved. https://x.com/typesfast/status/1930617097068912787

Note on the record: Page count for the Monashee Mountain paperback could not be verified, so none is recorded.
