The new course of history after the final fall of the Western Roman Empire is revisited through the stories of three sets of twins, set in different places and contexts. Alongside a fleeting desire for restoration emanating from the East, which saw the great splendor of the Justinian era, but also the definitive collapse due to the plague and the endless wars that tore apart what remained of the Empire, the new era was characterized by the consolidation of Frankish power and the invasion of the Lombards.
Both peoples would find themselves having to contend with delicate internal balances born of tribal traditions, the preponderance of religion in this new landscape, and the difficult integration of the various pre-existing ethnic groups and cultures.
