[¶1 of 5] Calidus erat dies. Sol lucēbat. Sed militēs Romanī in spinīs suīs frigorum sensērunt. Multī militēs in murīs urbis stetērunt, et procul ambulatōres Herculaneī spectāvērunt. Herculaneī, dissimilēs militibus, in ordinibus nōn iter fēcit. Movērunt similis marī, nunc surgēntēs, nunc cadentēs. Videbatur esse milia illōrum, lentē Romam ambulāvērunt. Simon et magī alterī cum militibus in murīs stabānt. Subitō unā voce magi clamavērunt, “Ignem Volcanī!” Aliī magī et militēs ē catacumbīs et sepulchrīs iuxtā Viā Appia ascendērunt, et hī magī etiam “Ignem Volcanī!” clamavērunt. Magis quam vigintī murī ignis apparuērunt, et ambulatorēs undique ignis cinxit.
