Poenica is an immigrant from Tyre, the Phoenician city known for its purple. She's an extraordinary purple-dyer who wants to become a tightrope walker! In this tale, her shop is visited by different Romans looking to get togas purpled, as well as an honored Vestal in need of a new trim on her sacred veil. Some requests are realistic-others ridiculous. Is life all work and no play? Can Poenica find the time to tightrope walk?
