Description

  Caius Zip, the time traveller, appears on the coast of Cartago during a shipwreck. Caius is impressed by the advancements of that splendid civilization. The great general, Hannibal, is fighting the Romans and Caius is sent by a quinquerreme warship with his new friends to help Hannibal in Italy. Caius will listen to Hannibal´s stories of battles and realize that he is a true genius in the planning of war.
  Before the battle of Cannae, Caius plays Epyskiros, a dangerous ancestor of our football, and falls in love with a beautiful Celtiberian warrior. In Cannae,   Caius learns that war is, in fact, a monstrosity when he loses friends and witnesses a scene from hell of 80 thousand fallen soldiers in a matter of hours.
  Then, Hannibal sends Caius to Syracuse to help Archimedes with his great inventions. Sent to Alexandria to rescue Archimedes, Eratosthenes, the librarian of Alexandria, and Apollonius, the great geometrician, are unfortunately too late. Archimedes leaves the apparently unsolvable enigma for the two men to figure out, but it is solved with the help of Caius.
  Eratosthenes and Apollonius take Caius to Alexandria where he meets a delegation of wise men who have fled from China, under the rule of emperor Qin Shi Huang, and watches, perplexed, an exhibition of the fantastic planetarium designed by Archimedes. A fascinating journey to the great ancient civilizations.

Author

Regina Gonçalves
  Regina has a degree in mathematics and systems analysis but decided not to pursue her profession in order to dedicate her time to teaching her daughters and other adolescents. She wrote textbooks with stories that combined the study of history with mathematics.
  As these stories expanded, Regina found herself dedicating more and more of her time to writing and eventually completed a series of books about the young “Caius Zip – The Time Traveller,” for young readers and adults who are still young at heart.
  Her works of fiction always aim at providing information and arousing the reader’s curiosity concerning matters of world history, art, philosophy and science. Mathematics has always been present in the solution of enigmas, and decision making in epic battles and during the investigation of a mystery.
