A collection of letters centered on Ancient Roma entitled:
"long-lost letters" [EPISTULAE PERDITAE PERDIU]

The letters are, in effect, 56 pieces of a mosaic: fiction, nonfiction, histories, myths, opinions, memories, plays, latin, short stories, politics, puzzles, mysteries, poetry, architecture, humor, language, economics...with pictures and graphics. The letters come in many forms and sizes. Most of the letters range from 500-2200 words.

They're written for the average English reader who has no knowledge of the Latin language. These story-letters are really about discovering the common human middleground between people in our modern culture and the modern people in Roma, 2,000 years ago.

Flaccus to Priscus: Hello. Tourists! They should all be crucified! Their "graffiti" [INSCRIPTIONES] is polluting my city. They scratch names and opinions everywhere. As if they were dogs passing by. As if the whole city should care deeply about what they have to say:
