| Introduction | Salve! Mea nomina est Justinus Veturia Figulus. Welcome to my blog! As my cognomen suggests, I am a potter. However, I am not practicing pottery at the moment, for I am writing to you from a prison in Rome. I was imprisoned in A.D. 65 because of my firm Christian beliefs, just like many of my friends. Therefore, I have decided to use this time in prison to tell you about my life story, from my birth in A.D. 20 to now, A.D. 67. My story, which I will tell you through many different letters, is a very long yet interesting one, covering events such as seeing the crucifixion of Jesus and becoming a Christian; working hard to take over my father’s occupation as a potter and compete with the new pottery factories; and getting arrested one day while selling my wares in the Forum. I hope you will enjoy my blog! Vale! |
| Interests | I am a skilled potter, trained by my father since I was quite young. I love to go to the Forum weekly to sell my finely crafted wares and listen to the noises of the various languages being spoken. I also love to watch plays, listen to orators, and watch puppet shows in the streets. I enjoy talking with friends whenever I get the chance. I especially enjoy gathering together with other Christians to praise the Lord and Jesus Christ. |
| Favorite books | Sadly, being a poor Plebian potter, I cannot read. |
