Summary
Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, one of the most famous figures of the Roman Republic whose death spurred the state's collapse into imperial tyranny a century after, is a multifaceted individual whose psychological nuance offers enormous literary exploration; was he a true reformer for the people of Rome who sought to instrumentalize his privilege for his constituents, or was he merely one man in a long line of demagogues who weaponized the people's will for his own gain?
This story seeks to display that depth and dialectical quality integral to Gracchus's character, supplying a vivid look into the socioeconomic crisis befalling the Roman Republic towards the end of the second century BCE.

Summary
A young woman becomes the slave of a Roman commander after he captures her village. She soon learns that in the violent and unforgiving society of ancient Rome, a prisoner of war is little more than a plaything for the victors.
Although she initially fears and hates her captive, her feelings become more complicated as their relationship grows more tender and her old home becomes a distant memory.
