Nicole Gunther-Perrin was a divorced single-mother lawyer living in Los Angeles. Tired with her life in the 20th-century, dealing with employers who are openly sexist albeit a veneer of politeness, trying look after children who miss their babaysitter and losing money fast due to aforementioned sexist employers, one day she wished she lived in the days of Ancient Rome, since she thought life then was much easier.
Two gods, Liber and Libera, mounted a plaque bought back from a tour of the ruins of ancient Carnuntum, heard her wish and actually sent her back to ancient Carnuntum, in the body of a distant ancestress. There she learned that life in those days was not as easy as she thought: slavery was taken for granted, women had no rights, there was no effective medicine or clean medical practices, and no tampons. Over the course of a year, she was forced to revise many of her long-held modern prejudices, including those against alcohol and corporal punishment. She survived epidemic disease and a German invasion; learned that early Christianity was uncomfortably zealous and apocalyptic; and, after a brutal rape by a Roman soldier, discussed the role of government and its duties to abused citizens with Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Eventually, Liber and Libera fulfill her desire to return home, where she woke from a week-long 'coma' to find that, with her hardwon skills and improved perspective, both her working and family life improved and she could more easily deal with the stress and difficulties of her modern life. She retained memories which could never be shared with anybody and a thorough knowledge of the Latin languague.
She also learnt that many of the beliefs she espoused back in her native century wasn't exactly right. Things she reviled such as wine and corporal punishment for children wasn't that bad. Also, before being sent back to the past, she had a deep loathing for men. Meeting Titus Calidus changed all that. Also surviving the plague and a German invasion hardened and left her grateful for the privileges she enjoyed in the 20th Century.
