Great article! At least a few Christian female writers I know, myself including, are Romano-philes. My interest came from studying the early Christian church, plus the Roman Empire has always fascinated me! One friend , Carol Ashby, has written an entire series set of Christian novels set around Rome and events--she's an encyclopedia of Rome LOL. Keep the articles coming!
Thanks for commenting Ronda. I too am interested because of the early Christian church. I'm especially interested in the centurion at the foot of the cross as I touched on in Eli Eli Lema Sabachthani, and the centurion whom Christ "marveled" at. But, my interest in the empire first began because of the movie The Gladiator! 😂
"When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.”"
Luke 7:9
I now have another part for this "When in Rome" series to add to the burgeoning list...
