A spoof of politics in the context of ancient Rome The ancient Roman Empire was the greatest in the world. Its powerful army controlled most of Europe, England, the Middle East, Mediterranean and Egypt. Its architects and engineers built the most complex and advanced roads and aqueducts, temples and other grand structures that lasted for centuries. Its third emperor, Caligula, reigned for only four years, but left a legacy of unequaled ambition, extravagance, power, perversion and self-aggrandizement. This story tells the power struggle between the executive and legislative branches of government-the Emperor and the Roman Senate-that led to its downfall. It is told through the eyes of two strong Roman senators-Lindi Gramph and Dimit Romger-who spend their leisure time at the Senate baths at the Forum where the doorman Justus and bartender Magmus understand what's really happening. Some things never change, even in 2,000 years. A startling picture of political policymaking taking place in the Senate baths. -The Roman Times-Post An unconventional presentation of Emperor Caligula's power and perversion. -Mediterranean Review

Autorenporträt
MAKE ROME GREAT AGAIN is the fourth novel by Oregon writer-attorney Jerry D. Kirkpatrick. He has been a newspaper reporter, university writer, and education R&D communications director almost since the days of the Roman Empire. He once spent 24 hours in Rome after missing a plane connection returning home from Istanbul, and now lives in Oregon on the Willamette River, the second largest river in the world flowing to the north, after the #1 Nile in Egypt. The Iowa native received his B.A. and M.A. degrees in journalism from the University of Iowa and a J.D. degree from the School of Law at Lewis & Clark College.
