About this audiobook
In the competitive literary circles of Augustan Rome, untalented hacks and envious critics wage a bitter war against true artistic genius. The battle lines are drawn between genuine poetic expression and the shallow, slanderous noise of jealous rivals. As the conflict escalates to the highest courts, the ultimate judgment forces the frauds to literally vomit up their pretentious vocabulary. Step into a fierce, satirical defense of artistic integrity against the relentless tide of mediocrity.
