The Curia

[Il_Duce]

[I]Cotta stands before any other senators get a chance.

I second this proposal. The Epirites are beaten, withdrawn. As the victors, we have the right to demand reperations from those who have been beaten. I ask the Dictator to consider demanding reparations from our defeated foes.

I agree with Legatus Cotta. Although trade rights with the Epirotes would certainly thicken our coin purses, it would be a very unwise move diplomatically. Why not simply take the money from them like the children they are. They are beaten and battered and I believe the idiot general no longer wishes to take on the whole world. If the Roman legions march on him he knows it will be his demise.

Excuse me now, as I must take off to II Legio Latium-- a personal servant shall serve as my scribe and letter carrier.

Ah, to endure the interview tent with Legatus Cotta. I wish you luck!
