Excerpt from Helena's Household: A Tale of Rome in the First Century Ome; in the year of the city, 814; in the year of grace, 61; Nero on the throne; the apostles preach ing Christianity; the ancient world in the period of its highest civilization, when petty divisions had become extinguished, and all the nations bowed to the one central city such is the time of this story. It was a busy, a rich, and a densely-peopled world. Military roads started from the great centre, and went to the uttermost bounds of the empire. The Mediterranean was the highway of nations; surrounded by a girdle of populous cities, everywhere traversed by vast eets, and filled with the commerce of the world. Roman law had fashioned all the provinces into one form, and stamped them all with one image; and those states which were formerly ravaged by war or piracy, now, under the in uence of universal peace, grew with a rapidity that had not been known before.
