Talking of bodice rippers I picked up a copy of <i> Rogue Roman</i> by one Lance Horner. Absolute trash but great fun, I got it for 20p rooting through the civic library sellf off<br>
<br>
To quote the description on the dust sheet<br>
<br>
"<i> THe chief actor in this full blooded tale is Cleon - pirate, actor, slave, gladiator, mighty lover - whose fame had travelled across the ancient world. Another mans wife was no novelty to Cleon, for many had fallen into his strong arms, but in this exciting story the other man was the Emperor Nero himself - vicious, perverted, all-powerful - and the wife was the beautiful and patrician Octavia<br>
<br>
With pathos , and a wonderful understanding of the period, the author has drawn a vivid picture of a corrupt age.</i>"<br>
<br>
B$ll&@ks<br>
<br>
Just in case he ran out of story the lad is also a dead ringer for Nero, and pulls Agrippina. No opportunity missed for girls with their clothes falling off... <p></p><i></i>
