GAME:	Denarius Avaricius Sextus

TEXT:	Back in good old A.D. 79, there lived a patrician Roman 
	named Avaricius (Avvy to his friends.) He was about 26 
	years old and about six foot three. He had married a woman 
	named Arkata, which was a mistake he lived to regret- she
	never stopped nagging him. His few slaves were so lazy he 
	hardly ever saw them, except for one named Crapulus, who 
	was always at least inebriated, if not downright drunk- apart 
	from reading Avvy's mail (amazing! he could read) and doing 
	the washing-up, he preferred to spend his time with an amphora 
	of wine down at the "Canis et Anas" (his local.) (*)
	You'd think Avvy had problems enough. However, he also lived 
	in a pleasant seaside resort you may have heard of, called 
	Pompeii, and he was unaware that in a few hours' time he would 
	be buried alive. Well, maybe. Perhaps, with the guidance of his 
	guardian angel from the twentieth century 
	(that's where you come in) he might escape both Arkata and the 
	volcano. The date is... 24th August, A.D. 79.
