PROLOGUS, 29 AD

The streets of Rome seemed alive, twisting and writhing like some tortured serpent; its massive human coils swelled and clotted the narrow roads channeling into the forum like tributaries rushing toward the sea. The white draped figures of aristocrats mingled with the simpler garb of the plebeians… the covered litters of the wealthy vied for passage alongside vagrants and beggars. Some had to squint and put up their hands to shade their eyes against the dazzling whiteness of the buildings beneath the hot July sun, but their progress was little impeded. Market pavilions spilled over with more than the usual number of hawkers and their wares. A slave ship had recently made port, attracting the curious as well as those who had intentions of making a purchase.
