The Bathhouse

Roman Spain, 42 A.D. Marius longs for glory beyond harvests. A bathhouse contract promises wealth, until floods devastate his land. Suspecting sabotage, not divine wrath, he uncovers a hidden dam and must decide where his loyalties lie…

Roman Spain, 42 A.D.

Marius is the proud son of a prosperous olive-growing family and a restless soul who craves more than harvests and household honour. A supporter of the Whites chariot faction, he thrives on rivalry and risk, fighting in the streets as passionately as he cheers in the arena.

When his childhood friend Aius – now enslaved to the ambitious patrician, Kaius – secures him a prestigious contract to supply oil for a grand bathhouse destined to rival Rome itself, Marius sees a path to wealth and lasting glory for his family’s name.

Then the floods come.

Fields are swallowed. Whispers rise of an angered spring goddess. Drawn to a captivating Greek seer who claims the waters carry a warning, Marius begins to suspect that the disaster is no act of divine wrath but the result of a hidden dam built to serve the bathhouse – Kaius’s monument to ambition.
