The Times presents a captivating journey through the Roman Empire, led by Marcus Sidonius Falx and his amanuensis, Dr Jerry Toner. As Falx embarks on his eastward expedition, he explores the vibrant cultural hub of Athens before venturing into the rural landscapes of Asia, known as Turkey in modern times. Along the way, he marvels at the ancient Luxor monuments in Roman Egypt and visits the renowned Great Library of Alexandria. Continuing his westward journey, Falx traverses the fertile lands of Gaul (France) and crosses the English Channel to Britannia. There, he encounters the harsh realities of provincial life, facing challenges such as pirates, shipwrecks, and unpleasant accommodations.
Falx, not only a seasoned traveler but also a practical guide, offers invaluable advice on navigating the perils of the Empire. From dealing with pirates and shipwrecks to combating pesky bedbugs and subpar food, he provides insights that even the most sedentary reader can feel as though they have firsthand experienced the wonders of the Roman Empire. Through his vivid storytelling and meticulous research, The Times offers a truly immersive experience that transports readers back to the grandeur and complexities of this remarkable era.
