Holiday Horror In Ancient Pompeii
Your mom and dad are going on a little vacation for Saturnalia and decided to leave you home by yourself for the first time. You're pretty excited at the thought of all this personal freedom.
"All right son, take care. Remember, no wild parties," says Caecilius as he playfully nudges his elbow into your side.
Your mom, Metella, looks on disapprovingly, adding, "Remember, Quintus, Clemens will be here looking after you. I expect you to be on your best behavior."
Your younger sister, Lucia, comes down the stairs in protest. "Mom! Why does Quintus get to stay home by himself and I have to go see our loser relatives? It's not fair! I never get to do what I want and Quintus always gets to do what he wants!"
