Description:

Archimedes claimed that if he had a fulcrum and a lever, h would move the world. In the ancient Roman world of seafaring heroes and power hungry rulers, the clear headed thinking of this young scientist is refreshing. The story follows the lives of a batch of slave girls whose misfortunes and fortunes at the hands of their masters make an engaging historical perspective. The issues of the times are not unlike our present day worries--power, greed, ethics and morals, the menace of war and the threat of extinction. Jacobson's love of the classical world and of the sea is evident in this bestseller, and even though his works are of fiction, they are soundly based on hte history of the period.
