Before exploding the volcano

Tawadosius, is the great king who is embodied in the play "Maroun Abboud", which embodies the moments of the conclusion of the unified Roman Empire before its division. Abboud's choice of this great character was not limited to his appreciation for her as the last rule of the unified Empire, but these choices extended to the literary elements that she woven around it, so he added a new depth and dimension of the character that exceeded the normal surface. The most prominent of what "Tawadosius" made a great leader in the author's eyes is his prayers and efforts against paganism, his victory for Christianity and his affirmation of the doctrine of monotheism. However, this great feature that was characterized by it did not come without a price, as his wars against the pagans were destroyed, leaving behind many innocent lives. Will "Tawadosius" crown the right and restore the balance of the scales before it is too late?
