The Sacrifices of Virginia and the Decemvirs
A Vatican style historical chronicle recounts the 450 B.C. decemvirs led by Appius Claudius and the murder, corruption, and attempted enslavement that toppled Rome. Virginius returns from war to rescue his daughter Virginia by a knife she choked to save her honor, sparking a riot that ends the tyranny. The piece shifts to the Crusades sparked by rival popes Clement VI and Urban V, detailing Peter the Hermit and Godfrey of Bouillon, with hundreds of thousands joining, the fall of Jerusalem, and the Christian Kingdom lasting nearly a century.
