This is a proof-of-concept webcomic that asks: What if knowledge from 2025 reached Rome and kicked off an industrial revolution? The story follows two voices: • Ulysses, a present-day archaeologist who finds a glowing slate in the dig site. • Marcus, an educated household slave in 79 AD who replies on that slate.

Why I’m posting I’d love narrative feedback. – Does the story make sense? – Are Ulyses and Marcus believable? – Which directions would you explore next (politics, tech, moral fallout)?

What’s live today • First issue, 25 rough pages. • No paywall; just a PDF.

Next steps Regular releases toward a 8 or 10 issues collection. I’ll revise based on your critiques and wild speculations.

Grateful for any thoughts on pacing, historical plausibility, or character depth.

Thanks for reading!
