Senator Amulius Coruncanius, your acceptance that, perhaps, the correct way forward is "Amalgamation” rather than genocide is heartening to me.

With young Senators like yourself willing to modify and adapt their, perhaps extremist, viewpoints there is hope for the future of the Republic indeed.

(OOC: shame….was gearing up for a good argument then. Even had my research done for ammunition against your character)

Senator Servius Aemilius, your ideas are also commendable and both proposals bare serious consideration by the Upper House. I ask if you are considering running for First Consul in the future? Agile minds are what the Republic needs as we grow stronger and or provinces stretch further afield.

Please, Senators, do not forget we are a Republic. This talk of “Empire” unsettles me but it is understandable……just remember WHO we are and who we represent. No King or Emperor rules our citizenry now.
