Description:
Amidst the grandeur of ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero, the tale unfolds between Vinicius, a young patrician, and Lygia, daughter to a fallen Barbarian commander. Struck by her unparalleled beauty, Vinicius seeks to make her his concubine despite her Christian faith. However, as they cross paths in an unexpected encounter, Lygia's compassion for the wounded Vinicius leads her to develop feelings for him. Meanwhile, their lives become entangled with Emperor Nero's persecution of Christians, accused of instigating Rome's great fire and facing unspeakable cruelties at the hands of the emperor. In the midst of chaos, Vinicius finds himself drawn towards Christian teachings, prompting a request to Apostle Peter for guidance. As their lives intertwine in this time of unrest, the contrast between love and persecution weaves a poignant narrative set against the backdrop of ancient Rome's power struggles and religious intolerance.
