The opening of "Novellák" presents the aged senator Mesembrius living in the countryside away from the intrigues of Rome, burdened by the shame associated with his daughter Glyceria's disreputable lifestyle. The narrative shifts around his second daughter, Sophronia, who is virtuous and secretly embraces Christianity amidst the chaos around her.
