Quantum of Solace' was originally published in Ian Fleming's collection of short stories, For Your Eyes Only, and is also the title of the twenty-second James Bond film, starring Daniel Craig.
Rome, AD 34: Vespasian is serving as a military officer on the outskirts of the Empire. But political events in Rome - Tiberius's increasing debauchery, the escalating grain crisis - draw him back to the city. When Caligula becomes Emperor, Vespasian believes that things will improve. Instead, the young emperor deteriorates from Rome's shining star to a blood-crazed, incestuous, all-powerful madman.
