Buy Valete vos viatores PC key

Valete vos viatores is a first-person adventure in which you manage a workshop, speak with clients and learn the craft of a scriptor titulorum, a sculptor who carves inscriptions. You travel through more than five locations, journeying from the centre of the Roman Empire to its westernmost point through cities in Italy, Gaul, Hispania and Lusitania.

The work of a scriptor titulorum

You learn the techniques used to create inscriptions: writing, composition, choosing materials, cutting, carving, decorating and painting. Through the inscriptions, you encounter the concerns and desires that led people to leave their legacy in stone, and interpret what their words mean.

Roman life and memory

The adventure follows the Roman practice of placing tombs and mausoleums beside roads, where travelers could read the inscriptions. People believed that being read would keep them in the reader’s memory, and dedicated the phrase “VALETE VOS VIATORES” to those who stopped to read their epitaphs: “Good luck to you, travellers.”

You lead the protagonist through realistic environments depicting characteristic areas of Roman cities as they appeared in the 1st century. Along the way, you learn about Roman daily life, society, institutions and professions.
