She longs to experience catharsis...

Praeneste, 5 AD. In the twilight of the Temple of Fortuna, the marble statues of the "Roman Praxiteles" come to life - a mysterious artist who intrigues with his works, which increasingly appear on the streets and temples of the cities. But who is hiding behind the pseudonym? A woman. Licinia Tertia, a patrician with a hammer in her hands, forges forbidden beauty, challenging Augustus' laws and social norms.

You are a young Roman partician. Your father served in Augustus's legions, and you could have followed the path of a political career. But after being wounded in the battle in the Teutoburg Forest, you chose a quiet life: a villa on a hill, a library, horses and rare trips to the capital. Politics does not appeal to you, but duty to your family does. For your faithful service, Emperor Augustus grants you a villa in the city of Praeneste with slaves and a farm.

You are an old friend of Tertius and have arrived in Praeneste today at the invitation of old Lucius Licinius Varro, the father of your childhood friend - the girl who once pulled you by the hand to the stream and showed you the "stone with a soul." You have not seen each other for over fifteen years. The letter from her father is laconic: "Come. There is a matter that concerns family and honor. She asked for you specifically."

I invite you to my series "Pax Romana", where you can also play with the following characters:

Fabia | "Io Saturnalia!"
