Description

Set against the opulent backdrop of late‑first‑century Rome, the tale follows Caius Septimius Cinna, a patrician whose life is a parade of feasts, gladiatorial spectacles, and scholarly debates. Though well‑versed in Greek literature and philosophy, he treats ideas as sport, preferring pleasure and power to deeper conviction. His world begins to shift when his wife, Antea, plagued by unsettling visions, is urged to seek the air of Jerusalem.

Arriving in the holy city, the couple encounters the tense atmosphere surrounding the Nazarene, whose teachings stir both hope and fear among the authorities. They witness the fateful trial before Pontius Pilate and the harrowing crucifixion, moments that force Antea to confront the truth she has sensed in her dreams. As the drama of the crucifixion unfolds, the story invites listeners to glimpse how a life of excess can be challenged by a singular, transformative revelation.
