I lay before the Senate and people of Rome another victory over Gaul. Again they raised a horde to assault our defenses and again the veteran troops of Legio III fought back across the river. This army was led by the Gaulish faction heir and a trusted general. I personally saw to the faction heir so that he would not escape while the other general wasted himself on the spears of my triarii. Over 1000 Gauls were slain. I and my cavalry killed nearly half as I am proud to say that my escort is now skilled enough to challenge enemy infantry directly.

I also bring the good news that my younger son Decius has come of age and will hopefully attend the academy. Though I fear he is somewhat unruly he will do well for Rome.
