About this book

Manio Curio Dentato, un nome fra i tanti consoli dell'antica Roma, fu invece il protagonista decisivo per salvare Roma dalla minaccia mortale portata da Pirro, Re dell'Epiro.

Esempio di rettitudine per gli antichi scrittori latini, schivo di onori, ruvido nei modi, prima della battaglia di Benevento contro l'ambizioso sovrano Epirota, respinse le lusinghe dell'orgoglioso popolo sannita, domò le rivolte sabine, spense la furia dei Galli, mentre a Roma si trasformò in agitatore, abile nel difendere le ragioni della plebe contro il patriziato guidato dal celebre Appio Claudio Cieco, dedicandosi, al contempo, all'educazione di un fanciullo lasciato alle sue cure dall'amata moglie.

Ma Curio non fu solo un condottiero vincente: si deve a lui, infatti, il secondo acquedotto romano e la deviazione del fiume Velino che diede origine alla cascata delle Marmore.

Attorno a lui si muovono passioni, intrighi e potenti contrasti di una città che teme per la sua sopravvivenza ma che, al tempo stesso saprà ritrovare, unità e determinazione per non soccombere.
