    These projects will benefit you whether you like them or not, Consul Aemilius. The plebs care not who legislated them, only who funds them and actually builds them. You may soon find yourself the most publicly celebrated Consul since Marcus Furius Camillus.

    Senators, if we may take a moment to observe the final entry of senator Augustus Verginius into the archives of these senatorial proceedings and reflect upon his attitude. Augustus took a constant stance of interest in the plebeians. And, perhaps, worked to give them a more comfortable life than what is led by most of our lower house senators on campaign. A noble cause, but, as man is time given form, all time passes, and all men die. In the spring of 499 AUD, Augustus Verginius left this world. However, in his passing, he has completed the final works necessary around Gergovia to seal it off from Iberian movements, and the western frontier with Iberia can now be called complete. I will say more later in the consular report. For now, let us give a moment of silence.

    Senator Verginius was a noble Roman who worked to spread Roman greatness throughout his career. From the Battle of Bononia, where he fought off a Gallic ambush lead by the Gallic warchief Lucco, to his consulship bringing in much money and the start of the Greek conquest, this man should be a role model to all of us.

    It was an honor to serve with him and have him in the Senate. Senator Verginius, you will be missed.

    Augustus Verginius is no longer with us.....words fail me at this moment Conscript Fathers.......

    That man was as much a pillar of this noble as house as the great columns of stone & marble that surround us. Before I was even born he was a mighty veteran on not one, but two battlefields - the political, and the military. All my life Augustus Verginius has been part of the very fabric of Roman government.

    I shall not mourn his passing as much as I shall give thanks to Jupiter Optimus Maximus for blessing us with such a man. I urge the Consul to give him a state funeral.
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    Senator Augustus Verginius

    While Augustus Verginius was a strong opponent of mine, I am not the kind of man to hold a grudge with the dead. He was an honorable man, and in that respect, he will receive a noble funeral. One week from today there shall be a parade in the Roman streets, all goods purchased in the Roman forum will be payed in half by the state coffers, and a lyceum will be commissioned in Syracuse, where the plebeians are in much need of entertainment.

    EDIT - A consular report has been filed for the senates review.

    It seems while I have been generous in my tribute to Augustus's passing, my uncle Marcellus has outdone me. Congratulations Marcellus on the birth of your son, Augustus Aemilius.

    May I suggest, Consul, that you send in Roman forces to capture the Island of Salamais from the enemy?

    My hope is that my boy will do half the things that Verginius has accomplished in his lifetime. For that alone will place him in the company of legends.

    Cyprus cannot be touched, doing so would be in violation of motion 12.01. Roman expansion will stop at the town of Side, and go no further east under my rule.

    Although it is an appealing prospect, it is for later man to consider.
