[NUMERIUS AUREOLUS]: The Carthaginians seem to be landing in force. It would be wise not to under-estimate them. The Praetorian army already en route to Sicily may not be enough now that we know the threat of landings is real and not merely hypothetical. I wonder, what are the Consuls thoughts on our appropriate response?

And specifically, which Lower House generals are the Co-Consul intending to task with fighting the Carthaginians? I hastened to add, I ask only out of curiosity, I have no particular personal stake in this question - I suspect I am currently the furthest general from Melite in the whole Republic.
