I second motions 9.2 and 9.4.
In light of the war with the Thracians, I believe that the Republic is in urgent need of reinforcements, as these wars will without doubt be both long, and bloody.
I propose:
Motion #9.5: All Roman troops (Hastasi, Principes, Triarii, Velites, Funditores and Equites) be relieved of auxilia garrison duty and be redeployed with under-strength Legions (such as Legio VI)
Motion #9.6: A new Legion, Legio VII be raised and be deployed immediately against the Thracians.
If motion #9.6 is passed, I would recommend any one of Valerius Paullus, Gaius Rutilius and Luca Mamilius to be promoted to the rank of Legatus Legionis of Legio VII. I would also like to put myself forward for military service as a Tribune, or even as a Legate, should the senate see me fit for duty.
