On a blistering day in the twenty-sixth year of Augustus Caesar's reign, a young chef, Thrasius, is acquired for the exorbitant price of twenty thousand denarii. His purchaser is the infamous gourmet Marcus Gavius Apicius, wealthy beyond measure, obsessed with a taste for fine meals from exotic places, and a singular ambition: to serve as culinary advisor to Caesar, an honor that will cement his legacy as Rome's leading epicure. Apicius rightfully believes that Thrasius is the key to his culinary success, and with Thrasius's help he soon becomes known for his lavish parties and fantastic meals. Thrasius finds a family in Apicius's household, his daughter Apicata, his wife Aelia, and her handmaiden, Passia, whom Thrasius quickly falls in love with. But as Apicius draws closer to his ultimate goal, his reckless disregard for any who might get in his way takes a dangerous turn that threatens his young family and places his entire household at the mercy of the most powerful forces in Rome"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Apicius $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Rome $x History $y Augustus, 30 B.C.-14 A.D. $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gastronomy $z Rome $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gourmets $z Rome $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cooking, Roman $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 9 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305013444.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021837.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230203012152.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717033634.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006104812.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20180310024115.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20170616012234.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170616010715.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20170428010729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DFE0631C2BD811E7922AC3A7DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
