“by Glabrio as”
― M.J. Trow, The Complete Calidus Roman Mysteries Books 1–2

“One of many legends of the Impaler is that, trapped in a loveless marriage, he wandered the streets of his capital, Tirgoviste, picking up prostitutes on the way. So, too, Carol II Hohenzollern, king of Romania when archaeologists first came looking for Dracula’s grave had his string of mistresses.”
