I 2nd Publius. He is too unqualified. Even the Casse, a little known tribe, is recieving much notoriety for its stupid prince. Prince Henry I believe, every trade season gallic merchants come down telling of his stupidity and dumb remarks, making the casse monarch look foolish.

(little bit OOC, but I thought it would be funny).

I think a elder statesmen, would be fine. Not Cotta or Cicero, but someone with experiance at head of state to take the title for the time being. Maybe a elder governor. If noone is available I will concede and support your decision for cicero to be heres.

(OOC: maybe we can get rid of the office of faction leader/heres completely? Make it so we dont even recongize it, and its just a useless ingame thing. We are roleplaying here after all, and romans despised monarchys.)
