Viciria is an actual person who once lived in Herculaneum. She’s real as is her son—Marcus Nonius Balbus—the ‘first citizen’ of Herculaneum. Before this wealthy resort city was buried by Vesuvius in A.D. 79, Viciria was known as The Witch. At title well-earned for sure. But why? What could happen in her life that could change such a gentle creature? Find out in the accompanying short story to “THREATENED LOYALTIES”.
