Summary "Tizio Caio Sempronio: Storia mezzo romana" by Anton Giulio Barrili is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Tizio Caio Sempronio, a wealthy and handsome Roman knight who exemplifies the values of his time. The narrative unfolds in ancient Rome, illustrating the complexities of social relationships, politics, and the lifestyle of the aristocracy as it explores themes of friendship, love, and the contrasts within Roman society. At the start of the novel, the introduction sets the stage in ancient Rome around 703 years after the founding of the city, under the consuls Servio Sulpicio Rufo and Marco Claudio Marcello. We meet the charming protagonist, Tizio Caio Sempronio, a notable figure within the equestrian class, who enjoys the admiration of women and the friendship of influential men like Caesar and Catilina. Barrili intricately describes his opulent home, showcasing the architecture and decor of Roman life, and sets a tone of celebration as Tizio prepares to host a lavish banquet for friends, with a focus on the cultural practices and social customs of the time. As discussions unfold over dinner, themes of love and companionship begin to emerge, notably through Tizio’s relationships with the beautiful women in attendance and his friend, the aspiring poet Cinzio Numeriano, who is grappling with his feelings for a woman named Delia.
