Mark Strang heads back to a classic Rome that, because of the evil Closers, isn’t quite our
Rome.
The bicylce had wooden spoked wheels, but the tires were pretty obviously rubber. The
“chain” was a knotted rope, which ran through large wooden pin gears, and it didn’t
look like they’d developed the coaster brake yet, which may have explained why the
helmet had a number of prominent dents.
