Rome was supposed to be no different. But Rome never fell. And now, in the 21st century, it rules over a fragile world balanced on the edge of chaos. In Volume I: Solar Replay, the story begins with Ampelius in the city of Vetera (Seattle in our timeline). When the sky tears open and plunges the city into darkness—followed by the unnatural eruption of Mount Nerva—he’s forced into a fight for survival against forces far larger than rebellion. But Ampelius’ story is only the beginning. Each volume in the trilogy shifts perspective, following new lives bound together in Rome’s shadow, weaving into one larger saga. Because something is coming.Something Rome is not prepared for. 📚 Planned Volumes (Updated 1/31/2026) A World of Roma: Solar Replay — Complete (~100%) · 96k words written (Total) Note: Forward (Volume II) will conclude this fiction. But don't worry! More stories set in other eras of the A World of Roma universe are planned. Each era will stand on its own, exploring different perspectives — including the war that reshaped the modern world and allowed Rome to rise again.  Forward already has its first arc fully written (approximately 53,000 words).

(See “Planned Volumes” for more details.) If there’s ever a delay (life, holidays, etc.), I’ll note it in the pre or post-chapter author’s note so you’ll always be in the loop. I might also include a surprise friday upload on occasion, depending on time and how much material I have ready.  Disclaimer: I’d like all feedback, reviews, and ratings for this story to be entirely organic. I’m committed to growing it naturally through real readers, even if that means slower progress. Thank you for understanding — please, no review swaps. Thanks for reading!— Dustin
