“Those Who Walk to Their Death Salute You” is the second novel in the famous historical cycle by Danila Komastari Montanari about the Roman senator Publius Aurelius Statius, following “The Curse of the Plavtsiev Line.” Publius Aurelius is a convinced Epicurean, a fan of the fair sex, and a born detective. Behind him is service in the imperial armies, long journeys, and turbulent sessions in the Senate. All of Rome gathered in the amphitheater of Statius Tavor on the Field of Mars— the audience was to see a grand spectacle featuring the best gladiators of the empire. Helidonus, the celebrated warrior, was eagerly awaited on the arena. No one doubted that he would become the winner, but just when his triumph was already close, Helidonus suddenly fell dead.
