Cover of Gladius et Sibylla, a Latin novel by BJ Smith
Gladius et Sibylla - an epic novel of ancient Rome

A sacred sword. A crumbling prophecy. The silence of the gods—and the fate of Rome hanging by a thread. Set at the height of Imperial glory, Gladius et Sibylla: Fata Romanorum is the Roman epic that Rome never wrote—a sweeping, mythic journey into the heart of destiny, divine mystery, and civilizational twilight. As temples gleam and legions march, signs stir beneath the marble—a hidden current of omens, voices, and shadows long buried beneath civic splendour.
