About
The story takes place seventeen hundred years ago around Aventicum and Orba, a lonely Swiss outpost of the Roman Empire. Valerius wonders if the storm will break before he can marry and retire, Demetrius, an old Greek farmer hurries on the last journey home to Italy and Vinodius squanders resources on a public holiday all the while as an empire around them collapses.
