Argentina, 1976

At the juncture of an Excan Tlahltoloyan invasion to Cholula, Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca engage in a violent war when disputing the love of goddess Victoria on the gladiatorial stone, who is manifested as the emissary and harbinger of the fifth sun destruction. Amid rituals and sacrifices, flowery warfare, and tzompantli, love blossoms and dies. The story is complemented by a chilling account of the Battle of Zacatecas and the Jerez fair, where Mexican traditions are illustrated and glorified.

The recently intensified focus on questions concerning the relationship between Rome as "center" and its European "peripheries" through research on Iberian papal documents opens up new perspectives.
