This interlinear Latin-English edition is designed for learners at B2 to C1 level, providing immediate support with a line-by-line English translation beneath each Latin sentence. Whether youre preparing for advanced reading or seeking an immersive path to Latin fluency, this book offers the ideal combination of language acquisition and literary adventure.

Follow Iulianus, a philosopher falsely accused of sorcery, as he flees Antioch and journeys eastward through storms, bandits, and visions. Along the way, he meets Charite, a mysterious woman whose origins are bound to his fate by a pendant once given by Apollonius of Tyana. Together they endure captivity, deception, prophecy, and revelation in Parthia, Bactria, and India-before returning west to face justice, love, and the gods.

Inspired by ancient novels and written in a style indistinguishable from genuine Latin prose of the second century AD, this tale weaves together:

• Adventure and exile
• Mystery and oracles
• Romance, recognition, and redemption

Perfect for students, teachers, and lovers of Latin literature. Rediscover what the ancient novel once was-and what it still can be.
