    Default Sempronia's Antiquities




    Sempronia's Antiquities was the sort of shop that only the rich or brave dared enter.
    Occupying an boldly disadvantageous position at the end of old and rarely used merchants street,
    it was here shop owners moved to when they got financial problems to die a slow death,
    This shop though, gave the impression that an tiny palace of some kind had been dropped there
    by godly hands, and then been soldered on to the drabber buildings alongside.
    Its illuminated window and fluted golden pillars(There was only two) stood out among
    the bookshops and the fruit merchants that lined the wide, gray "boulevard"(Slum); even when
    seen from afar, its aura of refined elegance stood out almost a mile away(Or she was just proud
    of her little shop, opinions and all that). Each window was displaying sparkling arrays of rings
    and bracelets; laid in fine rows on slightly tilted tables for the customers to see, in the back of the
    shop swanky Italian suits with diamond pins and all such decoration was laid neatly on display.
    On the pavement outside, ordinary and shady shops littered this part of the city.

    The shop seen from outside was themed in Egyptian style, Ancient Egyptian with beautiful
    statues from before the fall. Statues of Isis, Ra, and so on, Statues for the Wealthy citizens of
    Rome to buy and decorate their homes with. There was Rune Carved Sword from the Vikings in
    the North and Pagan Artifacts from all over the world. Things with no religious connection but
    of simple beauty and silk wares from Egypt and Milano. Even Silk from India brought back by
    fearless Burgundian Merchants.

    These wares, real in form and value was not the real trade of this not so humble but rather small
    shop. It was the unique wares, that was really hard to come by, wares more dangerous than items
    from conflicting religions. Items that required... Special expertise. Expertise that had made this
    shop possible, expertise a young girl by the name of Sempronia Milonia Peregrina brung to town
    in the year of 1000 ,and in Rome, her knowledge was in high demand, it was only a half year after
    she had arrived that she opened this shop. Her time in the start had been hard, but never did she
    show any sign of poverty, none knew
    her life here in Rome was kickstarted by 300 Florins from unknown origin.
