La casa de la Piedad
López Güeto, Aurora
Rome, summer of AD 9 The city respectfully says goodbye to Antonia, daughter, wife and mother of prestigious politicians and one of her most illustrious benefactors, while Marcela, daughter of the lawyer Labeón, mourns whom she has been her protector since childhood. But the duel soon turns into scandal. Antonia's will, far removed from what is expected of a matron of her position, uncovers a network hidden for decades of lies, betrayals and crimes. The exemplary Casa de la Pietas, the epicenter of Roman social life and the propagandistic support of the morality imposed by the Principality of Augustus, hides an unbearable truth. Marcela will fight to defend the last will and honor of Antonia and her own family with the help of her faithful Paulo and Aulo Sentio, and the priestesses and devotees of Bona Dea, facing all those who have led Antonia to her sudden and tragic end.
