When Vanessa first landed in Rome in [[2nd century|120 A.D.]], the first person she happened to come across was a greedy man by the name of [[Balbus]], who, upon realising she had sophisticated knowledge, accused her of being a runaway slave and claimed her as his own. | When Vanessa first landed in Rome in [[2nd century|120 A.D.]], the first person she happened to come across was a greedy man by the name of [[Balbus]], who, upon realising she had sophisticated knowledge, accused her of being a runaway slave and claimed her as his own. Spreading rumours that she was a fortune teller, people came to her to find out about their futures. Unfortunately, Vanessa could not see the future and knew very little of astrology, and generally made the best guesses she could as to what would happen to the people who came to see her. Being as intelligent as she was, her guesses were normally very accurate, and she became well-known. | ||
[[Gnaeus Fabius Gracilis]] heard of her from a barkeep and sought her out to see if she could tell him anything about his missing son, [[Optatus Gracilis|Optatus]]. He offered Balbus a lot of money to speak to Vanessa. She began making random calculations trying to stall for time, and Rose quickly realised that Vanessa had no idea what to say to him. The [[Tenth Doctor]] recognised very advanced mathematics from the [[24th century]], and assumed she could actually see into the future. | [[Gnaeus Fabius Gracilis]] heard of her from a barkeep and sought her out to see if she could tell him anything about his missing son, [[Optatus Gracilis|Optatus]].
