Moments In Time

At an archaeological dig in present day Pompeii, Dr. Justin Edwards a specialist in Roman archaeology discovers a carved pendant the significance of which far exceeds its historical value. After grasping the pendant, Justin is inadvertently knocked unconscious and comes to before the destruction of Pompeii nearly 2,000 years earlier.

Now an ex-Roman soldier named Justinian, he is inexplicably drawn to an exquisite Chinese slave girl, Feiyan, he saves from an ambush.
