Pontius Aquila: Eagle of the Republic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692294550)

President Trump claims he supports the middle class. How will his policies affect the American Republic? Could history repeat itself? Julius Caesar claimed he supported and was loved by the common people, but his unbridled ego led to the end of the Roman Republic. Follow the ordeals of Aquila, a Roman Tribune elected by the common people, and his struggle against the dictatorship of Caesar. Although Pontius Pilate is known for his role in the Bible, less known are the historical characters who shared the surname Pontius and are portrayed in a series of historical fiction novels called Lover of the Sea. The first novel in the collection, Pontius Aquila: Eagle of the Republic, takes place during Julius Caesar's bid for power, generations before the birth of Pontius Pilate. As a young man, Lucius Pontius Aquila falls in love with Cicero's daughter. After a brilliant military career, he is elected as Tribune of the Plebeians. Aquila, a fervent supporter of the Roman republic, joins in the plot to assassinate Caesar.
