From Troy to Rome, and to a New Faith

A Mediterranean thread across myth and faith: from the heroes beneath the walls of Troy, to the forefather who walked out of the ruins toward Rome, to a new faith that rose at the empire’s edge and spread across the whole sea. Follow it once and you will see that "myth — history — religion" are the upper and lower reaches of a single river.
