A bihari remete, és egyéb történetek

A bustling Roman forum comes alive in vivid detail, where towering silk awnings cast cool shadows over marble statues and bustling market stalls. Amidst this spectacle, a young aedile—sharp‑eyed, impeccably dressed, and clutching a roll of parchment—finds himself thrust into a tangled web of freed slaves, scheming financiers, and restless politicians. Their sharp banter and heated accusations hint at deeper rivalries that threaten to upend the delicate balance of power in the city.

Through witty dialogue and richly painted scenes, the story follows the aedile’s uneasy attempt to navigate corruption, debt, and personal ambition while keeping an eye on the looming presence of a ruthless usurer. As the sun sets over the Forum’s marble columns, listeners are drawn into a world where honor, greed, and survival clash, promising a compelling journey through ancient intrigue and human folly.
