He would rise up as savior of the State, but Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger already has a lot on his mind. In the year of his aedileship, Decius is expected to stage elaborate and expensive games out of his own pocket. Along with his duties of pleasing the crowds with the feats of gladiators and wild beasts, are the more practical, and commonly neglected, ones of maintaining the city and its laws. It is these more mundane duties that call him to the scene of a recently built and more recently collapsed tenement building. Determined to punish the greedy parties who used cheap materials and caused the deaths of hundreds, Decius sets out to exact justice. It is easier said than done, especially when bodies and evidence go missing, and his family pressures him to cease the investigation. As he seeks out the politicians, philosophers, and tradesmen of the day, it becomes clear that the collapse of the building was deliberate, and Decius could be going after some of the most powerful men in Rome.

In this eighth installment of the series, Roberts once again provides authentic detail in the everyday Roman customs, as well as a fascinating picture of the growing unsteadiness of this famed Republic.

not very long lasting
I like the fact that they have no stuffing. My 20-pound dog chewed through these in no time and got the squeaker out and tried to eat it. My dog enjoyed tearing it apart. I had to chase him around to get the squeaker out of his mouth. The size is great for a medium sized dog. However, it lasted only minutes before it was ruined.

Excellent for small dog!
These are very colorful and well made. They are flat, but wonderfully crinkly. Good sturdy material for medium to small dog. Looks like they will last a long time. My dog loves them.

Dog loves even though they are thin product dog loves them and Picks Them out of many many toys.
These were super thin and I thought about tearing a hole in them and putting in a slight bit of stuffing. However, my dog absolutely loves them and we fling them across the house and the yard like little Frisbees. They are very lightweight but kind of a corduroy stitched fabric and they have lasted quite some time and been through the washer and dryer many times and abused. Still holding up and the dog loves them. Highly recommend a great product for the price.

Will Buy Again--Eventually as they are hearty
My dog loves these "trash babies" as the size, squeaker & trash /cellphane sound the crinkle toy makes brings her joy. this brings me joy as the stitching is hearty and toys hold up when cleaned in my washing machine & dryer. Her first trash baby is still going strong after a year tho the crinkle sound has dimminshed some the sweaker is good as new. I bought these to rotate to wash and keep a new one for travel. Very durable! good size for my 20 pound mini aussie.
