Two thousand years ago, a Roman scribe discovered the secret to lasting wealth. The rules he learned still work today.
In the heart of ancient Rome, among its aqueducts, legions, merchant fleets and vineyards, lives Marcus: a former scribe who became one of the wealthiest men in the Empire. He was not born rich. He learned the way.
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF WEALTH AND MONEY 10 LESSONS FROM ANCIENT ROME is a historical fiction novel told as ten timeless money parables. In each chapter, an ordinary Roman comes to Marcus in crisis. A stonemason drowning in debt. A centurion whose pay vanishes before the month ends. A merchant tempted by a scheme that seems too good to be true.

- Pay yourself first and save a portion of everything you earn
- Budget with purpose and control your spending before it controls you
