comment
Martin Padway is struck by lightning in 1938 and finds himself in sixth-century Rome, on the verge of its ruin at Justinian's hands and the onset of the Dark Ages. He may be able to save civilization, if he can only get the ruling Goths to grasp the value of his innovations...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Written by L. Sprague de Camp.

Changed My Jumper: Martin's wearing a light wool suit, necktie, modern shoes and hat when he arrives. No one seems to particularly notice. He switches to local clothing not long after, but insists on having his tunics modified to include pockets.

comment
Barbarian Tribe: Averted with a vengence for the Ostrogoths. While backwards in some ways by Martin's standards, they are treated benignly as intelligent people who do a reasonable job maintaining their Roman structures and facilities. The Roman Byzantines, often portrayed as attempting to "restore" Rome from "invaders" are given a far less favorable light.
