Changes

The experiment to study Ancient Romans by transporting them through time to a new Pompeii just before the disaster hits the old one sounded great in theory. The practice has been going on for years now, but the modern and old worlds living alongside each other in an uneasy peace. Scientist Nick Houghton only ever wanted to live within the experiment out of curiosity but it's more dangerous than he ever dreamt. Since he arrived, he's watched the Romans kill the inventors of the machine that saved them. Nick, or Decimus Horatius Pullus to give him his Roman name, is the only non-Roman living in New Pompeii and that's not a safe position or location in which to live.

This time out we see Nick living more on the edge in New Pompeii as the real threat of death creeps closer to his door. Ancient Romans had the ability to out-Machiavelli Machiavelli and moving them through time to the 21st century hasn't blunted their deviousness nor their weaponry.
