Denial to the very end of civilization
Namaziano
decides to leave the capital and return home, but the ports are blocked by sand,
the cities have been abbandoned, the coutryside is in ruins. There are no
longer inns for a traveller to rest along the roads; he is forced to travel by
boat. The collapse of civilization is everywhere. But as everyone, he cannot
explain it and doesn’t even see it. Days of glory will return. He is convinced
that with the right weapons, a stronger army will chase the enemy away, and the
civilized life will return. Everything will go back to normal. This document De
Reditu was written a few years before the end of the roman empire of the West
by Rutilio Namaziano. That civilization was built on the excellence of its
roads and yet he was forced to return home to France
from Rome
