Summary "Neæra: A Tale of Ancient Rome" by John W. Graham is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of Ancient Rome, focusing on the lives of a young Roman centurion named Martialis and a humble potter's daughter named Neæra, exploring themes of love, class disparity, and societal norms of the time. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to the secluded Emperor Tiberius, who has retreated to the island of Capreae. The narrative quickly shifts to the character of Martialis as he returns to Rome, where his thoughts are consumed by Neæra, whom he loves. Their reunion is marked by tension, as Neæra expresses doubts about their relationship due to their differing social standings. The opening portion expertly sets up the emotional stakes for both characters, establishing a conflict that speaks to the broader tensions of love and class within the historical setting, all while weaving in vivid descriptions of the world they inhabit.
