Lucius Valerius Galeo personifies the Roman Empire's ambition and dominance. An egotistical centurion, his swagger betrays his arrogance and his blood-stained fists evidence his quick temper. He serves in Judea, quelling Jewish riots in Caesarea's hippodrome and doing the bidding of the governor, Pontius Pilate, from Jerusalem's fortress of Antonia. The Jewish people repulse him. A Death Well Lived is a captivating tale set in first century Judea that offers hope for the worst among us and the worst within us.
Overall a good read. It's not the most elegant prose, and it can be a little heavy-handed at times. But it's a solid story that moved me to tears more than once.
