Most of the novel is an adventure story set around Roman Britain and the relations between Rome and Palestine. Noviomagus or the state of the New Magicians is an enclave in Roman Britain that produces a eutopia by reversing the usual patterns. For example, every person holds an office except for one, who is designated the \"Regular Citizen\". The general commanding all the military is chosen for his peacefulness. The Treasurer must be able to write but not be able to read, which kept him from reading texts in political economy.\ See also 1876 Richardson.
