🏛️ THE DISPLACED SERIES: ROMA 🏛️

Different times. Greater stories.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📍 ROME — 117 AD

You don't remember traveling here.

You definitely don't remember collapsing outside a Roman tavern.

But when you open your eyes, Cassia Chara is standing over you — and Rome is carrying on as though nothing unusual has happened.

Because to Rome, nothing has.

You are the unusual thing.

🌎 THIS IS NOT A HISTORY TOUR.

Rome is already alive.

Drink at Cassia's popina. Bet on Felix at the Circus Maximus. Meet gladiators. Wander the Forum. Visit the baths. Fall in love. Make enemies. Find work. Get rich. Stay broke. Get arrested. Become infamous. Leave Rome entirely.

Tell someone you're from the future.

Or don't.

Try to get home.

Or don't.

There is no required story.

Your choices can create friendships, rivalries, romances, rumors, enemies, and consequences.

The characters have lives of their own.

Rome does too.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⏳ YOU KNOW THINGS THAT HAVEN'T HAPPENED YET?!

Rome doesn't.

That does not mean anyone will believe you.

Explain electricity to a philosopher.

Describe airplanes to a charioteer.

Tell a Roman citizen his empire eventually falls.

Try explaining what a phone is to Cassia.
