Author Note

The year was 80 AD. The Roman Empire held most of Europe in its merciless grip. The Roman army, at constant war, labored to feed an insatiable beast—the city of Rome itself.

It must have been a terrible time to be alive. There was pernicious inequality. There were fires, plagues, and violence. There were crazy Emperors like Nero, who years before had drained the Imperial coffers and terrorized the city. There was even a volcano—the infamous Vesuvius—which in 79 AD unleashed its fury on the people of the Pompeii region, condemning them to history.

But perhaps it was also an amazing time to be alive. It was the eve of the opening of the great Flavian Amphitheater, aka the Colosseum, an architectural wonder of the world. There were opulent public bathhouses, glorious temples, and an incredible network of roads. Never before had so many different kinds of people come together—to do business, to trade ideas, and, of course, to fall in love.

I hope you enjoy the story!
