Part 2/9:
Set in 128 BC, Rome is governed by Emperor Hadrianus, known for his oppressive reign and a knack for maintaining public favor through the popularity of thermal baths. These bathhouses became not only places of relaxation but also strategic venues for social interaction. Amidst this backdrop, Lucius, a once-prominent architect, faces the harsh reality of being outdated and replaced by a rival architect named Virtus.
Though disheartened by his job's loss, Lucius finds solace in public baths, where he grapples with the chaotic environment that detracts from their intended purpose. During a visit to one such establishment, he inadvertently discovers a malfunctioning bathtub, leading him on a journey that will reshape his life and the Roman Empire.
