The Curia

[SwissBarbar]

"Caivs Avrelivs Cotta, my friend, do not question the intentions of Caivs Aemilivs Mamercvs or any other member of the Gens Aemilia, as one of the gentes maiores, concerning the welfare of our beloved Roma. Our family only wanted - and still does want - the best for Roma for centuries, LONG before the Gens Avrelia appeared. And please don't take my words concerning the climate in the south literally. Don't let my rhetorical ornamentation mislead you to think an Aemilivs to be a pansy. History proves the contrary.

I just asked for reasons, since I did not hear the whole conversation. And you all showed me good reasons to go north."
