The story follows Marcus Attilius Primus, a young engineer tasked with repairing the Aqua Augusta, a massive aqueduct supplying water to 250,000 people in the region. As Attilius investigates the aqueduct’s mysterious failures, he uncovers corruption, betrayal, and the ominous signs of the impending volcanic disaster. The novel blends historical accuracy with thrilling suspense, painting a vivid picture of Roman life, engineering, and the devastating eruption that changed history. This Italian edition, published by La Feltrinelli, is a bestseller and a must-read for fans of historical fiction.
