I, Tutus (Citizen of Rome)

Citizen of Rome continues the remarkable saga of Tutus Indomitus Minimus, a pug reared in the luxury of the Imperial Palace of China, now caught up with a raucous band of Scythian barbarians" intent on war and conquest. But an unexpected and disastrous encounter with Roman legions ends their quixotic campaign and a wounded Tutus transfers her allegiance to the ambitious Roman general Marcellus. Surviving a harrowing sea journey, Tutus captivates the fickle Roman populace, becoming the favorite of one of Rome's most beautiful women, Julia Livilla, and a devotee of its lavish and decadent entertainments. But will the intrigues of Marcellus, or her own over-indulgence, doom our plucky heroine? Or will her uncanny luck prevail once more? I, Tutus shows us the Rome of Caesar Augustus as never before-through the eyes, and nose, of Tutus and the irreverent wit of her scheming comrade, the blind slave Polybius."
