Great story, bean Though I'm a bit surprised about the role of Avlvs in this conversation, since not only he's the most philosophic, sharp and judiciously speaking of the characters in this story, but also always respected TCM the most of them all, though he always was aware of the fact, that they were enemies ;-) But that's ok. Must've been the wine *G*

Letter

When Avlvs Aemilivs awoke the next morning, he had headache due to the wine he had drunk. He got up and put his clothes on. On his way to breakfast he remembered the messenger from last evening. He remembered his conversation with Caivs Avrelivs and regretted what he had said. Though he had been a political enemy of Tiberivs Clavidvs, he thought one should never speek bad a dead man, especially a senator of Roma.

He decided to write a letter to Tullia, widow of T. Clavidvs.

Dear Tullia

My name is Avlvs Aemilivs Mamercvs, son of Lvcivs Aemilivs
and senator of Roma. Your husband was one of my most
intense political enemies. How many times have we disputed
over matters concerning Roma. We did not often agree, actually.

Nonetheless I always believed, that he wanted nothing but
the best for the Roman Republic, which he loved as every
true Roman should. It was only the way, how to achieve
that, in which we did not agree for so, so many times.

I must confess, that when I learnt of his death, I first felt
relieved, for which I am ashamed. Actually it speaks for him
and proves that he was quite a tough adversary in the
Senate. Please accept my apologies and my most sincere
condolences.

May you come through the sorrow the death of your
husband must have caused.


Respectfully

Avlvs Aemilivs Mamercvs

He gave this letter to a messenger, who would carry it to Roma, and then finally could enjoy his breakfast, consisting of flatbread, Moretum, an egg and some fruit. Then he went to the garden of the Propraetor's residence, where it was quited and peaceful. There he could calmly study the latest reports of Qvintvs Aemilivs, who guarded the southern borderline of the region Epeiros with his cavalry, well knowing that in the afternoon he would join his troops in the eastern camp again.
