About this listen
Rome, 260 AD. Marcus is a baker who watches his world collapse one coin at a time. The silver that once bought a sack of wheat now buys nothing. The emperor debases the currency. Prices rise. The legions grow restless. And Marcus does what ordinary people have always done in extraordinary times: he works, he loves, and he tries to survive.
Seventeen centuries later, archaeologist Elias Harrington spends his last savings on one final dig in the Italian countryside. What he uncovers is Marcus's story—and a warning that arrives too late. Because the patterns Elias finds in the ancient ruins are the same ones unfolding around him: a currency losing its value, a government spending beyond its means, and ordinary people paying the price.
Bones and Clay is a novel about two men separated by centuries, united by collapse, and connected by the question that haunts every dying empire: What endures when everything else falls apart?
