QUINTUS FURIUS CALVUS

PRESENTS

AD LIB
IN THE THIRD GLORIOUS YEAR OF DICTATORSHIP
BY OUR GRAND AND GRACIOUS
LUCIUS CORNELIUS SULLA

THE IDES OF JUNE
ONE JUG OF WINE AND THREE SOGGY FIGS AFTER MIDDAY


Quintus Furius Calvus is a very ordinary actor with a very ordinary face. Worried about premature balding, he's skimp and down on his luck with the ladies. Things couldn't get much worse for 80BC. Well that's what he thought – right up until arriving in the hilltop backwater Arretium.

Suddenly he finds himself the unwitting pawn in a bizarre plot to murder the most powerful man in the world…with a fish.

Learning that nothing is quite what it seems, Calvus has some interesting choices to make, mostly the wrong ones. For a start he should have listened to his old Ma and become an accountant.

Still, with the bumbling help of his occasional friends Gavius and Porcia, he tries to stay ahead of all the murderers, spies, swindlers, very large Etrurians and exotic women wanting a cosy alibi. If ever there was a pickle, Calvus is in it.
