Re: The Will of the Senate - Senate Deliberations
Conscript Fathers! I believe I have a solution to the problem of trying to take Syracuse, and ending the war with Greece!
Perhaps we could send Sextus Antio, on a diplomatic mission to Greece to offer them a ceasefire, in return for which we would receive Syracuse. Roman honour would be satisfied with such a peace deal, and we would receive the strategically vital deep water port that we crave. Let me know your thoughts Conscript Fathers.
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
Senator Augustus Verginius
