    About this ebook

    After his recent exploits in the Delta and Alexandria itself, Gaius Flaminius Drusus is feeling restless. The province of Egypt is at peace; indeed, so is the whole of Hadrian's empire.

A notorious merchant named Claudius Mercator is spreading rumours of the presence of the Veil of Tanit in the mysterious kingdom of the Garamantians, deep in the Libyan Desert. Fearing that the reappearance of this holy relic of the Carthaginians will fuel rebellion in Africa, the legate asks Flaminius to join a new expedition that the merchant is mounting, to learn the truth, and to steal the Veil if possible...
