Vier für Rom - Die Piraten von Pompeji

The mix of real ancient Pompeii details and fictional pirates made the story so immersive. I wonder what inspired the balance between history and fiction.

Their interactions and loyalty really stood out to me, making me root for them. Was that something the author aimed for specifically?

The ancient city feels so vibrant and alive. I’m curious whether the author chose Pompeii for its history or because it offers a dramatic backdrop for pirates.
