"Vale!" thou loyal subjects of the Roman Empire!
Live from the "Caput Mundi" we broadcast the last news on mankind and surrounding places. Great things ("Rerum Magna") happen here, under the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitol Hill: capitol geese make sure that invaders stay out of Rome: Gallii (today's Frenchmen), Arabs, Africans and "Populi Omnes" peacefully gather here to admire the wonders of the modern age. Marcellus' Theatre - here on the right - hosts a very popular show, and people of all ranks flock in, numerous. Did you know that this is the first Roman building, where different architectural styles (bottom to top: Tuscanic, Ionic and Corinthian) co-exist? Those who could not find a ticket for the show enjoy a guided tour of the city: after a visit to a modern Opificium (a factory, oh ignorant! that uses revolutionary technologies to produce different models of refrigerators for the mansions of nobles and merchants), they cast an eye on the nearby Balbus Theatre, here below. Someone admires the evolutions of fans of a new sport, the Ventusplanii whom sail up- and downstream the Tevere river on both sides of the Tiberin Island. Here - under Aesculapius protection and in the Temple that holds his name, ill and wounded of all sorts receive advanced medical care in the Valetudinarium Publicum. Gods only know where this tradition of advanced medicine will end, one day!
