Lucius Flavus (German: "Lucius Flavus - Historischer Roman aus den letzten Tagen Jerusalems") is one of the most famous historical novels by the Swiss writer and Roman Catholic priest Joseph Spillmann, first published in 1890 by Herder publishers in Freiburg, Germany. The Month likened the novel to Ben-Hur and Quo Vadis. The novel has been translated into English and French. Reverend Peter Kaenders of Illinois adapted it to a five-act play in the early 1900s.
