Forced out of archaeology after a dig that resulted in a colleague's death, lawyer Jonathan Marcus is sent to Rome to testify against an official whom he subsequently aids during a high-stakes search for a priceless historical artifact.
"Jonathan Marcus, a young American lawyer and a former doctoral student in classics, has become a sought-after commodity among antiquities dealers, but when he is summoned to Rome to examine a client's fragment of an ancient stone map, he stumbles across a startling secret: a hidden message carved inside the stone itself. The discovery propels him on a perilous journey from the labyrinth beneath the Colosseum to the biblical-era tunnels of Jerusalem in search of a hidden 2,000-year-old artifact sought by empires throughout the ages.--From publisher's description."
"עורך דן אמרקאי צעיר ובוגר לימודים קלסים מוזעק לרומא כדי לבדוק שבר מפת אבן עתיקה וחושף הודעה סודית החקוקה באבן עצמה; נסחף להרפתקה במנהרות שמתחת לקולוסיאם, מחילות מימי הבית השני בירושלים וברומא העתיקה, עם מומחית צעירה לשימור, מחפשים מזימה בת ימינו להשמיד כל זכר לנוכחות הנוצרית והיהודית בהר הבית."

"Rok 70 n.e. Trwa powstanie żydowskie w Judei. Armia rzymska dowodzona przez Tytusa Flawiusza Wespazjana, przyszłego cesarza, po długim oblężeniu zdobywa Jerozolimę. Legioniści plądrują i burzą Świątynię Jerozolimską. Ich łupem pada menora, która zostaje wywieziona do Rzymu. Kilkanaście lat później jej wizerunek pojawia się na łuku triumfalnym wzniesionym na Forum Romanum dla uczczenia zwycięstwa cesarza Tytusa w wojnie z Żydami. Czasy współczesne. Młody amerykański prawnik Jonathan Marcus, z wykształcenia historyk klasyczny, przyjeżdża do Rzymu jako ekspert w sprawie dotyczącej fragmentów rzeźby Forma Urbis Romae. Jego zeznania mają zdyskredytować twierdzenie, iż pochodzą z kradzieży. Uwagę Jonathana zwraca łacińska inskrypcja wyryta na jednym z odłamków rzeźby: Błąd Tytusa. To pozornie drobne odkrycie okazuje się kluczem do tajemnicy liczącej tysiące lat. Czy menora zrabowana przez Rzymian ze Świątyni Heroda w Jerozolimie była jedynie repliką? Co stało się z oryginałem? Gdzie go ukryto? Którą menorę ukazuje płaskorzeźba na Łuku Tytusa w Rzymie? Jaki sekret skrywają podziemia Koloseum? Odpowiedzi na te pytania dostarczą zakamuflowane wskazówki pozostawione przez żydowskiego historyka Józefa Flawiusza. Niebezpieczeństwo czai się na każdym kroku. Oprócz Jonathana i jego przyjaciółki Emili, bezcennej relikwii poszukuje także niebezpieczny terrorysta używający pseudonimu Saladyn."
"Jonathan Marcus, a young American lawyer and former doctoral student in classics, is summoned to Rome for a case and stumbles across a message hidden inside an ancient stone fragment. The discovery propels him and UN preservationist Dr. Emili Travia into a coldblooded modern plot to erase every remnant of Jewish and Christian presence from Jerusalem's Temple Mount, in the process redefining history itself."@en
