Jaque al Imperio

This fascinating novel, the second part of the trilogy The Fall of Rome, places us between the end of the IV century and the beginning of the V century, a turbulent and exciting time in which the Western Roman Empire risked its existence in the face of the danger of disappearance to hands of its barbarian enemies, by its contradictions and by its own inability to overcome the decadence that had been dragging along the last two centuries. It is at this moment when eternal Rome plays its destiny at the hands of great people who have marked history with an indelible mark. It is the time of Theodosius the Great, Stilicho, Gala Placidia, the great Alaric, Ataulfo, the very young Aetius or Attila, or great Church fathers such as Saint Augustine, Saint Damaso, Saint Ambrose or Saint Jerome, who, converted Christianity into the official religion, built the foundations and foundations of the papacy and Catholicism. It is a time of great passions, great feats and great historical events that would transform society, culture, religion, economy, customs and the world until then known. Time of great passions, love, hatred, ambition, betrayals, wars, heroism, intrigues and crimes. In short, the time in which the Empire was put in check, both by the Visigoths, already installed in the interior, and by the new invaders Suevi, Vandals and Alans, who took it to the limit of its own survival and in which the Rome itself was taken and sacked. After these crucial years had passed, there was no longer any chance for the Western Roman Empire to elude its fatal fate.
