An alt-history account of the founding of America, as a lost fleet of Roman soldiers arrives a thousand years before Columbus.

In AD 323, a fleet of Roman ships is lost in a storm, and they find themselves on the shores of the New World, one thousand years before Columbus. Unable to return home, they establish a new colony, Roma Occidens, radically altering the timeline of America and subsequent world events as seen through the eyes of one family.

An exploration in alternative history from Brian Wood, Justin Giampaoli, and Andrea Mutti.

I thought the book would stay in 323 and explore what happens next -- unfortunately that is not the case. Instead, it hops and skips forward in time to show various vignettes of this alternate history, ostensibly through the descendents of one of the original Roman commanders. These come and go before the reader gets a chance to really understand who the characters are or what the stakes may be. Some episodes (a battle with Viking explorers) seem to serve very little purpose beyond "oh, it'd be cool to show Vikings and Romans fighting!" while others promise outsize importance (a soldier gets infected by Aztec plague) that never carries forward in time.

On a very basic level, the world-building is either too skimpy and scattered to engage, or simply fails basic suspension of disbelief. For example, the Roman soldiers promise to teach the Native Americans the secret of aqueducts, and images from later eras show elaborate bridges and villas. But unless an engineering brigade happened to survive the decimation of  this Roman military fleet, it's not clear where the skilled masons, architects, and civil engineers to undertake these labors would have come from. Similarly, an episode some five centuries after the initial contact revolves around the purity of the original Roman bloodlines. But since the original military fleet certainly wouldn't have been carrying Roman women, the very first generation post-landing would, by definition, have to be half-native. And five centuries later, there wouldn't be much to argue about.

I'm not particularly versed in ancient history, but there are some odd choices made. For example, these Romans are portrayed as unaware of Christianity and scoffing at the idea of a lone god, even though Christianity was well known throughout the empire, and the emperor who ruled in 323 legalized it. I'm not sure why the author's didn't just start the story several hundred years earlier. That actually, would have also have made a lot more sense in terms of the equipment and ships, which look to be of a much older era. It also would have made more sense in terms of the Romans themselves, since by the 3rd century, there weren't that many actual Romans serving in the Roman army anymore... I dunno, seems like if you're going to create an alternate history, maybe at least do better research?

Along with all the narrative problems, the artwork doesn't do the book any favors. It lacks any distinctive style, and along with the coloring, is just kind of bland. Faces, in particular, don't fare well. It's disappointing -- the premise is intriguing, but the execution is poor.
