(OOC: I decided not the make Manius Claudius here because he's got the "prospective triumphator", which means he can't enter Rome)

A man arrives in the Curia, bearing a message for Spurius Claudius Cicero.
Spurius Claudius reads the message and grins.

"Senatores, I have good news from our Consul Manius Claudius; Sicilia has been secured and the Carthaginian stronghold of Lilibeo has fallen to the Consular Legion! Rome's Legions triumph once again."

he reads the message again.

"and Consul Manius also wishes to inform the military commanders that, since his term is coming to an end, he leaves these directions for the next consul of the Legions:
-Legio III should be restructured first
-the Consular legion should be restructured and/or replenished next
-in the case that we are still at war with the Aiakides (Epirus), new troops should be trained for Legio II and transported to Ambracia, and the veterans given their honesta missio.
-the same should be done for Legio I, whose veterans have served since the time Pyrrhus invaded.
once again, these directions are optional, but suggested."
