In Rome, nothing happens without reason - not a feast, not a whisper, not a glance.
Here, people live too close to be honest, and too far apart to truly understand one another.
The emperors are young, ambitious, vulnerable. They are surrounded by luxury, blood, and expectation.
Lucretia does not seek power - yet each step draws her deeper into the dense fabric of the Empire. She does not fight, but she does not yield.
This is not a story about the struggle for power. It's a story about how hard it is to remain yourself when everything around you demands you become someone else.
And about how, sometimes, silence speaks louder than any command.
"Love is full of both honey and gall."
- Plautus, Curculio
