Libertus accepts a contract to install a pavement for Genialis, a
self-important citizen from a nearby town, in the house of the
customer's intended but unwilling and young bride, Silvia. However,
the winter is exceptionally severe, and although the mosaic is laid
in time to earn the promised bonus, Genialis goes missing in the
snow before payment can be made.
Meanwhile, at an important feast, the sacrifice is spoiled as an
aged priest lets go of the sacrificial ram and when news arrives
that the Emperor is dead, it seems that these dark omens are being
realised. The subsequent discovery of not one, but two mutilated
corpses only adds to this. Who holds the answer to the mysteries?
Everyone had motive; Libertus attempts to solve the mystery against
a backdrop of superstitious fear of auguries, and public riots
following the confirmation of the Emperor's death."
