The Will of the Senate - First Consul reports

[Mount Suribachi]

Spring 257 BC

The new year starts badly, the Thracians sneak through a gap in our lines between to besiege and take Aquileia





Lucius Aemilius journeys south to join with the reinforcements being transported to him by Publius Laevinius. I expect he will retake the settlement with few difficulties in the summer.

In other news Armenia and Germania ally, and scholars declare that Carthage are the most advanced people in the world! Who would have thought it Conscript Fathers? Its a good job my adopted father is on the far away Thracian frontier, he might not take this so well.


In family news Solonina is born to Quintus Naevius and Flavius is born to Secundus Salvidiennus

Finally Numerius Aureolus is at anchor off the coast of Debeltos with Legio V. As we await news of his expidition, I urge you all to give offerings to the Gods for the success of his mission.
