El espectro del palatino

A.D. 55: a series of bloody crimes shakes Rome: in recent months several bodies have been appallingly dismembered on the streets of the city. The most surprising thing is that the human remains are found mixed with bones and animal skins. Is it a macabre revenge or the work of some troubled mind? In the flamboyant and conspiracy-filled atmosphere of Nero's reign, an idealistic Praetorian, a disenchanted former guard, and a corrupt policeman join forces to try to uncover the origin of these brutal murders that are linked to Ovid's metamorphoses. As fear grows among the city's inhabitants, the investigations will lead the three men to the court of Nero, whose power struggles, in their increasingly chaotic drift, will endanger not only the terrified Romans, but the entire world. Empire.
