Are Scarrow's books actually "Roman"
at all? They could be very well set in any times. It's Saylor who gives as a truly Roman world to marvel at.
If you're into historical fiction set in Ancient Rome (and especially in the times of Republic) I wholeheartedly recommend Benita Kane Jaro's "The Lock" and especially "The Door in the Wall". They're available through Netlibrary and... via the "darknet". They can't be normally bought as an ebook which is a shame.
