The story unfolds during a tumultuous period when the Germanic tribes are encroaching on the fading Roman Empire, particularly focusing on the lives of its characters amid this cultural upheaval. At its heart is the tender relationship between Fulvius, a young stone mason, and his wife Felicitas, who embody the struggle for happiness against the backdrop of impending chaos. The opening of the novel sets the stage with a blend of archaeological discovery and historical reflection. As the protagonist immerses himself in the remnants of Roman civilization, he stumbles upon an inscription that promises happiness but also foreshadows conflict. The narrative then shifts focus to Fulvius and Felicitas, highlighting their idyllic life within their villa as they navigate the societal changes brought on by the threat of German invasions. Tension builds as they hear alarming news of battles and threats from outside, while internal conflicts regarding debts and predatory figures like Zeno the usurer begin to surface. This initial part of the book intricately weaves personal and historical crises, establishing a gripping atmosphere that foreshadows the challenges ahead.
