We don’t write history. We are history.
Impe.ro is a digital journey into the heart of the Roman Empire, told not through textbooks, but through the imagined voices of those who lived it. At its core lies the fictional journal of Lucius Aurelius Felix, a modest Roman scribe living in the year 270 A.D., under Emperor Aurelian. Through his eyes, readers witness the daily struggles, ironies, and quiet hopes of life in a decaying metropolis—Rome, the Eternal City, trembling beneath its own weight.
Each entry in Lucius’s journal blends historical accuracy with personal reflection, irony, and subtle anachronism. The world he inhabits is real: the emperors, the laws, the gods, the markets, the noise, the smells. Around his story, the site unfolds into layers of carefully curated historical content—timelines, imperial biographies, maps, and translations of ancient texts—offering both narrative immersion and scholarly context.
Impe.ro is not a museum. It is a living archive, a hybrid of fiction and history, meant to bring ancient Rome closer to a modern audience. By stepping into the mind of a forgotten citizen, readers are invited to rediscover the Empire not as a list of conquests and dates, but as a deeply human world—ironic, chaotic, sacred, and profoundly alive.
