The Curia

[everyone]

A man walks into the Curia

"I bear a message from Consul Asina, he is currently unable to come here in person as he is too busy in the Campus Martius settling some issues:"

he pulls a scroll out from under his tunic

"Dear Senatores;
as the messenger I sent has probably told you, I am currently occupied with some problems to settle regarding the Legions and the attack on Aemilia and Liguria; however I have heard the news from one of my junior officers that some madman from Liguria have recently challenged the might of our Legions, claiming that the confederation of Ligurian tribes are superior to our legions.
As you all are probably thinking that the Ligurians and their city of Segesta should be captured in a display of our military might; however I have to apologise that I had initially planned and attack on the city of Bononia first, before moving on to Segesta; and am going to inform Legatus Cotta to coordinate the 2 Legion's movements to both besiege Bononia; therefore I unfortunately inform you that an attack on Segesta would have to be delayed by a year.
Meanwhile, I would like to congratulate Aedile L.C. Scipio on his recent promotion.
Consul Asina"
