Britannia, 526 CE, in a parallel (and almost identical) universe.
Angles, Saxons and Jutes are invading the Roman province of Britannia from the South-East. All continental Roman soldiers have left – but the Romano-Celtic in the West are resisting bravely. Only Manius Papirius Lentulus from Roma has stayed. He’s with the barbarians but he risks nothing because he's considered innocuous by the Angles (or Angli as he says in his language.)
In such a green but rainy land he doesn't only meet the locals but also strange people from other nations.
Manius being reserved (and living in a tower) prefers to communicate via wax tablets that he sends to every corner of Britannia and of the big world.
This blog will present the content of Manius' letters (along with other fun stuff).
