Ammianus Vesper Mundi is the new comic book by Nubes, with story and supervision by Marco Cappelli (Storia d'Italia (History of Italy)), drawings and colors by Martina Montrasi, script by Francesco Vacca: an exciting work and a real gem of historical fiction that shows how something new was born from the end of Rome and how words can be light in the darkest moments.

I give you 5 - five, eh! - good reasons to read it.

1. If you like Latin, you will enjoy the clean and elegant translation - Caesar would approve! - by Salvatore BellaviaIf you prefer English, it will be Francesca Reading 's impeccable and precise style that will accompany you among the pages. Of course, there is also an Italian version!
2. If you thought 2020 was the worst year to live in, Ammianus, Vesper Mundi will make you reconsider and you will run to eat a plate of plain penne (it is an Italian joke: our supermarket were empty but no one bought the plain pasta) out of repentance.
3. If you love narratives in which fiction, historical facts and archaeological findings come together, Ammianus Vesper Mundi will captivate you. You will love its characters and you will book the first train ticket to Turin. Why? You will understand as you read.
4. If you like the intense colors of the mosaics in Ravenna, the colors chosen by Martina will enchant you.
5. If you are not afraid to look into the eyes of a sunset, to understand that - yes - eras end, but the best they have left us endures and fertilizes every rebirth, this story will make you reflect a lot about times, books, men. And about what we are leaving behind.
