The Roman
''The Roman'' is a fiction novel by Mika Waltari published in 1964. Set in Rome, the book is a sequel to ''The Secret of the Kingdom'', a novel about the early days of Christianity. The protagonist and narrator is Minutus, the son of Marcus, the main character of the previous novel. Minutus is a Roman citizen striving to survive without political entanglements. In the novel, Minutus travels from Corinth to Britain, to Rome and then to Jerusalem. Through a boyhood friendship with Nero, he becomes a sometimes advisor, sometimes a tool, and sometimes a fool of the capricious emperor. A cruel fate makes him the commander of the menagerie that supplied the wild animals that tore his father and son to pieces, and the book was obstensibly written as a guide for his son, great-grandson of the Emperor Claudius. ==Plagiarism of the novel== In July 2008, news emerged that the novel had been plagiarized by TV-producer Colin Slater in his novel ''Lindum Colonia'', published in 2003.
