Will of the Senate - Senate Deliberations II

[Death the destroyer of worlds]

Senators,

I take some time off from discussions with my quite hysterical battle staff to speak with you. First off, let me welcome Cornelius Saturninus to active service. His presence in this theater will be of great value in the coming year. I invite him to take the place of the late Amulius Coruncanius as my co-consul.

As to the banners of the Legio VI and the Consular Army I, I wish to say that no Roman army carrying either of those banners has ever walked away from a field of battle without leaving more dead enemies as dead friends behind.
Surely, they have been decisively beaten this time, but did they forsake their banners on the field to be carried around in an enemy victory procession, or stored in a heathen Gaul temple, as is (sotto voice *cursed Publius*) now happening in Gergovia ? No, they did not.
Did they perish against an unworthy enemy ? No, they fought bravely against the combined military might of our most powerfull adversery. This army did not die without glory and the Macedonians are not gloating or parading around cheering with over 900 dead of their nations finest men. Word has reached me that the banner is being looked after religiously by the survivors. The tales of the daring and bloody swath their commander, the late Amulius Coruncanius, cut through the massed ranks of the Macedonians grow with the hour.
I say we should restore the legion VI banner at the first oppertunity and honour it with the name Amulius' wrath. This will surely inspire the men to fight with zeal.

OOC : Someone help me out with the latin ?

As to the situation at hand, I take full responsibility for this disaster. Still, if we still had the blessings of the Gods, it would now be the Macedonians who would now be in dire straits. Such is war.
It greatly pleases me to hear to vigour of our commanders. All want to be the one to destroy the Macedonians. I am in a difficult position and will have to confer with our battle staff on how to cope with this strategic defeat. We do not have enough men for all the tasks facing us now. All I can tell you at this moment is that the Legio IV Gallica, the Legio V Alaudae, and the Field Army I will all probably be involved in the fight against the Kingdom of Macedon.
