Antonina; Or, The Fall of Rome

Antonina; Or, The Fall of Rome was completed and, after the first two publishers refused to accept it, it was issued by Richard Bentley as a three-volume book early in 1850. Antonina; Or, The Fall of Rome is the only example of Collins writing a classical romance novel; and it was met, as Collins later recalled, "with such a chorus of praise as has never been sung over me since".
