Péplum is a novel written in French by the Belgian author Amélie Nothomb. It was first published in 1996 by Éditions Albin Michel.
The futuristic novel is presented as an autobiography. A young writer named A.N. is brought to a hospital for a minor operation. When she wakes up, she finds herself in an unfamiliar room that is very different from her hospital room. She then meets Celsius, a mysterious scientist who explains that 585 years have passed since her surgery and that the year is now 2580.
