Maximus is dead.
He knows he is dead, that Commodus killed him, like he killed Commodus. And his hope is that when he dies he somehow gets to meet his wife, his little boy.
But here he is, awakening in this little town, nothing like Rome or Germania or the East. Its cooler, greener, with stone streets. He heard once the christians say something about purgatory, where people go after they die and they don't quite deserve heaven or hell.
Maybe this is it?
This isn't the afterlife he expected. Not at all. |
