Ad Romam #1

A Roman soldier in full regalia — red cape, armor, and fur-trimmed boots — stands alongside three modern teenagers in front of an imposing ancient monument, setting up a tantalizing clash of eras right on the cover. This 2019 French-language series from Éditions du Rocher, crafted by Bertorello, Delalande, Prolongeau, and Talijancic, launches with Le Trophée d'Auguste, promising a story where the ancient world and the contemporary collide. If you've ever wondered what it might look like when history steps off its pedestal and into the present, this first volume looks like a very good place to start.
