[{"comment":"I think historical fiction of any kind is always so difficult and you did such a great job. The dialogue really popped for me as well. Well done.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/kevin-b\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/avatar\/default\/315b39a0fc19fb45d146c17b813d46c7acb0b872.png","author_name":"Kevin B"},{"comment":"Thank you, Kevin.This was my first attempt at a topic I have a great interest in, so that means a lot to me.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/sol-caine\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/avatar\/default\/59aa962f7269a10c4395e01495c04a928240cb5b.png","author_name":"Sol Caine"},{"comment":"So THIS is what men are always thinking about!I enjoyed the history and the attention to detail in the flashback. The time travel would have been a more interesting surprise\/contrast if we got at least a little taste of the narrator's life before going to sleep at the very beginning. Thank you for sharing it and nice work!","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/audrey-knox\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/2717123\/thumbnail_d12b99b1aabb817d99513af0548fbd30234d22fb.jpg","author_name":"Audrey Knox"},{"comment":"Audrey,Thanks for reading and commenting. I wanted to pose the question as to whether Spurinna was a time traveller or a true soothsayer - a character similar to how Nostradamus is perceived. His confused state of mind hopefully negated a backstory. It's all about here and now in his waking moments.That said and done, this was merely a fictitious glimpse at one of the most historical days in time.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/sol-caine\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/avatar\/default\/59aa962f7269a10c4395e01495c04a928240cb5b.png","author_name":"Sol Caine"},{"comment":"Great historical tale!","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/jonathan-page\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/2792537\/thumbnail_f2f48d44f760728d0c5aaba532bbf3b068c14409.jpg","author_name":"Jonathan Page"},{"comment":"Thank you, Jonathan.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/sol-caine\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/avatar\/default\/59aa962f7269a10c4395e01495c04a928240cb5b.png","author_name":"Sol Caine"},{"comment":"Historical. Always good to read about Rome and its politics. That year, my ancestors were in their caves, not mud houses, minding their own business. Congrats.

This story presents a good range of imagery and detail to build a sense of a puzzle, and a glimpse of history. Realistic and evocative. This reader anticipates more fiction written by this author.

Yours was intriguingly written and kept me engaged. Well done.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/karen-best-wright\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/2916395\/thumbnail_04f2cb17dba27849838dd22e626986c2a4b929e4.jpg","author_name":"Karen Best Wright"},{"comment":"Karen,Thank you for your welcomed feedback.

I also like the term "field to table," it's always fun to see modern ideas used in the past, especially when they could've existed back then too.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/kailani-bonam\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/560224\/thumbnail_597ae4a52c416f23eeb6f6faffaec7ca5fda0490.jpg","author_name":"Kailani Bonam"},{"comment":"Kailani,Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my story.The Romans taught us a lot, so "field to table" could have been a tag line back then. However, I think everything was field to table 2,000 years ago.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/sol-caine\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/avatar\/default\/59aa962f7269a10c4395e01495c04a928240cb5b.png","author_name":"Sol Caine"},{"comment":"What a great personalized spin on a classic event, and a rich sense of time and place!

Mom was a master of the roast, and the smell is a strong sense-memory stimulus for me. You did a wonderful job in historical recreation. I was once astonished to learn Marcelle Proust was fond of a certain modern sexual verb\/declarative, and imagining him dropping an F-bomb in a literary salon makes me appreciate the humanization of fictionalized history. You did it well.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/martin-ross\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/1588316\/thumbnail_73c43818f200fa7558564678b33f5b350e8d12a8.jpg","author_name":"Martin Ross"},{"comment":"Thank you, Martin.
