[QUINTUS]: It is good once again to see such clear differences in the programmes for candidates for First Consul.

On another matter, after reflection, I have decided to ammend:

Motion #5.1: This House grants First Consul Lucius Aemilius a triumph. This is on account of his successful conquest of Cisalpine Gaul, Massilia and the island settlements of Melte, Aleria and Caralis with relatively little loss. It notes the generous role of the First Consul in providing opportunities for other members of the Lower House to give battle on Rome's behalf.

If anyone is unconvinced by this motion, I urge them to look at the record of battles under the First Consul's rule. Our forces have slain over 12,000 enemies - twice what was done under my own rule. The fact that the First Consul often delegated command is even more to his credit, as it ensures that we have a cadre of battle hardened senior generals to call upon in years to come.

I hope Senator Verginius will still second this motion.

I still require an additional seconder for both motion 5.1 and 5.2.
