Summary "Vergilius: A Tale of the Coming of Christ" by Irving Bacheller is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set in ancient Rome, exploring themes of love, faith, and the transition from a world of paganism to one of emerging Christianity. The story primarily follows Vergilius, a young Roman knight, as he navigates the complexities of love and duty amid a backdrop of moral decay in the empire. The opening of "Vergilius" introduces readers to a richly depicted Rome, presenting a stark contrast between its opulent surface and the spiritual discontent of its people. As Rome grapples with excess and corruption, Vergilius is portrayed as a sincere and noble youth who is enamored with Arria, the daughter of a noble. Their budding romance unfolds with challenges, societal expectations, and hints of political intrigue, particularly as Vergilius is drawn into the machinations of powerful figures, including the emperor Augustus. The early chapters set the stage for a grand journey, reflecting on themes of love, virtue, and the search for truth as the empire stands on the brink of significant change.
