Tod auf dem Forum:Rom, Spätsommer 50 v. Chr.: Aufgabe des Curulischen Aedilen Gaius Volcatius Tullus (C. V. T.) ist die Kontrolle der Märkte und des Handels. Außer den üblichen kleinen Streitereien, die C. V. T. zu schlichten hat, ist es bisher in der Geschäftswelt ruhig geblieben. Doch in den letzten Wochen häufen sich seltsame Vorfälle in den Straßen rings um das Forum Romanum. Unbescholtene, wohlhabende Bürger werden zusammengeschlagen, Läden und Häuser angezündet, Sklaven ermordet. Außerdem erfährt der Aedil, daß Falschgeld im Umlauf sei. C. V.T. beginnt systematische Recherchen, doch sie bringen ihn zunächst nicht weiter. Dann aber kommt es zu einem blutigen Zwischenfall, der C. V. T. auf eine neue, gefährliche Spur bringt.Diese immer wieder überraschende Geschichte zieht den Leser in ihren Bann und gibt zugleich Einblick in das Leben, die Sitten, Bräuche und Rituale der römischen Geschäftswelt - wie auch in die skrupellosen Machenschaften der 'Unterwelt', die sich von denen der heutigen nur in der Technik der Mittel unterscheiden.Tödliche Dosis:Rom, Dezember 50 v. Chr.: Athenodoros, griechischer Hausarzt der Volcatier, steht vor einem Rätsel. Trotz sorgsamster Behandlung und Pflege siecht einer seiner Patienten, der römische Ritter Aulus Gellius, dahin. In Athenodoros steigt ein ungeheurer Verdacht auf. Er will einen berühmten Kollegen zu Rate ziehen - als Reaktion wird sein Leben bedroht. In seiner Verzweiflung wendet er sich an C.V.T. mit der Bitte um Hilfe. Weil Athenodoros seinem Bruder einmal das Leben gerettet hat, nimmt sich C.V.T. der Sache an. Die gefährlichen Überraschungen und das Entsetzen nehmen von Tag zu Tag zu. C.V.T. ist gefährdet wie kaum je zuvor.Diese spannende Geschichte bringt uns das Milieu der griechischen Ärzte, der Drogenhändler und der medizinischen Scharlatane im Rom des 1. Jahrhunderts vor Christus nahe - aber auch die Machenschaften der mächtigen Großhändler, vor deren den damaligen Erdkreis umspannenden Verbindungen selbst der große Pompeius Respekt hat.
