Quo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero

The opening plunges listeners into the glittering world of Nero’s Rome, where decadence reigns in opulent feasts, lavish baths, and whispered intrigues. Through the eyes of the notorious arbiter of elegance, Petronius, we taste the excess of imperial banquets and the sensual pleasures that dominate the city’s elite. The narrative paints a vivid portrait of a society awash in luxury, yet already humming with an undercurrent of unease.

Amid this splendor, a younger voice enters—Marcus Vinicius—fresh from distant wars and drawn into the orbit of the capital’s moral battles. As the empire’s grandeur collides with the quiet, steadfast faith of a new belief, the story hints at a clash between hedonistic power and emerging compassion. Listeners will be drawn into the tension between Rome’s glittering surface and the stirring, quieter forces that begin to reshape its destiny.
