Summary "Quintus Claudius: A Romance of Imperial Rome, Volume 2" by Ernst Eckstein is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This captivating tale explores the life and conflicts during the tense era of Emperor Domitian's rule in ancient Rome, focusing on the personal dramas that unfold amidst political intrigue and social upheaval. The opening of the narrative begins with Emperor Domitian in a state of agitation due to disturbing omens and political unrest, including rebellious inscriptions found throughout the city and news of a failed revolt in the provinces. His volatile relationship with his mistress, Julia, intensifies his paranoia when a soothsayer's prophecy foretells danger to his life, driving him into a frenzy of accusations and violence. Meanwhile, the character of Quintus Claudius is introduced as he grapples with his convictions, particularly regarding the impending edict against the Nazarenes, setting the stage for the clash between personal beliefs and societal duty that will be central to the plot.
