The Silver Pigs (1989) by Lindsey Davis - a podcast by Bowman & the BFG

Josh and Scott kick off a new series of crime story explorations with a trip to Lindsey Davis's Ancient Rome, guided by Imperial Informant, Marcus Didius Falco. "The Silver Pigs" is set in AD 70, during the rule of Vespasian, and travels from the Aventine to Roman Britain where a conspiracy involving the trade of silver ingots propels Falco further into deep and dangerous territory. Join us for a time-travelling romp through antiquity as Davis reconstructs ancient Rome for modern crime readers through the lens of her cynical detective.
