The narrative introduces a group of French friends who share their experiences in Rome, exploring themes of history, philosophy, and the legacy of ancient civilizations. The main characters include Joséphin Leclerc, an ambassador's attaché, and Nicole Langelier, a member of a historic Parisian family, as they engage in discussions about their surroundings and the significance of their discoveries in the city. The opening of the novel depicts a picturesque scene in Rome as a group of friends gathers in a secluded area of the Forum. They admire the remnants of ancient structures and converse about the historical significance of the sights before them. As they reflect on the glory of ancient Rome and the significance of their archaeological explorations, the mood is contemplative, blending admiration for history with philosophical inquiries about culture, religion, and humanity's connections across time. The characters engage in vibrant discussions, illustrating France's characteristic blend of narrative depth and social commentary, which sets the tone for the issues they will explore throughout the book.
