De Vita Auli Aurelii - A Romani AAR

This AAR will be about one man's live: Aulus Aurelius Cotta.
At the moment of writing this, the boy is only 8 years old, and we will see how the Roman Republic worked with all it's complots, assasinations, blackmailing, homosexuality, shady ways to get financing and personal honor.

Introduction: Childhood

262BC: Roma

Aulus Aurelius Cotta, an eight year old boy, was on his way to the grammaticus with his older brother Caius,they had received a lot of homework the other day, which only Caius really made. Aulus went to the race tracks with his amici all the time instead of doing boring homework. which his father forbade him.

But his father wasn't here, he was in Etruria to quell some uprisings, and thus, Aulus was more aat the racing track then at home...

One day a racer from the Green Party was dragged all over the field, and Aulus talked with it about his friends that he was actually feels sorry for him, his father overheard him and confronted him, and Aulus, the smartass he was replied he was talking about Hector, not some kind of a racer.

Anyways, while they were walking towards their 'classroom'. Caius, the nerd, was practicing his homework out loud:
δουλος est servus
ανασσα est domina
Βασιλεύς est rex
...

It was a long way from their huge villa urbana to their old grumpy grammaticus

They were only five minutes from school when they got stuck in an angry mob of protesters:

"WE WANT LORICA SEGMENTATA! WE WANT LORICA SEGMENTATA! AND WHEN DO WE WANT LORICA SEGMENTATA? NOW! NOW!"

The poor boys couldn't continue their way to school, and where stuck in those group of LS maniacs.
After 15 minutes an old senator stood before the people and said:

What do you guys think we are? Some Hollywood Legionaries? You plebs should watch less movies and fight more Gauls...

The people were outraged by this insult, and started throwing stones to the poor old senator and the mob started to invade the senate building, this was the moment the two little boys could finally go to their grammaticus...

Chapter 2: Iuvenis

8 years later...

This is his big day, Aulus is so happy, and tells everyone today he will togae virilis sumptio and become an official adult.

With tears in his eyes he offers his toys where he played with all his life to the lares, his family and friends applauded, and later that day he would be accompanied by putae, none knew then what his destiny holds for this young man.

2 months later...

In a dream, Iupiter spoke to him, and said:
The plundering of my city hasn't been avenged yet, those stinking Galli are still defiling this earth, you must take the fight to their homes!

Then, Iupiter faded away and Aulus awoke.

Aulus: "Caius, Jupiter appeared in my dreams, he told me to command an army and destroy the Gauls"

Caius: "Omens like that can't be ignored, but you'll have to be 20 to serve as Tribunus Militum, what to do? And who gives away this office?"

Aulus:"The Tribal Assembly *sighs*"

Caius: "And who presides over it?"

Aulus: "Sextus Sepronius Longus, this years Praetor"

Caius: "We..could...somehow..y'know...bribe him?"

Aulus: "But how, I don't have much money!"

A few hours later at the Praetor's house...

Praetor: "Hahahaha, YOU want to be a Tribunus Militum? You've barely taken on the Adult's Toga!"

Caius: "Aulus here has something to offer you in return."

Praetor: "Wha, what on earth could that child give to me?!"

Caius: "He will please your ugly daughter..."

Praetor: "If he would do THAT you'll be Tribunus tomorrow, because the bravery you need to do that is almost superhuman!"

Aulus: "*Whispers to Caius* I want to be Tribune, not a corpse you moron!"

Praetor: "So we have a deal, young Aulus?"

Aulus: "well...okay then..."

The praetor kept his promise and young Aulus was Tribunus the next day, and spoke to the Senate:

"Senatores, many years ago the Gauls plundered our city, razed our temples and killed many fine Roman, and to this day, they paid to little for this. Iupiter Optimus Maximus spoke to me in my dreams, he wants revenge for this vile act! I as Tribunus Militum want to fulfill Iupiter's wishes, and extend our Imperium! Our military can handle this, we defeated the mighty Poeni in 2 years in the Sicilian War, and what can halfnaked lunatics do to stop us? Bwa! Give me command of the Etrurian Legions and I will destroy them, this I swear to Iupiter et Mars!"

All senators applauded and Aulus left the next day, and for his loyalty to his brother, Caius was appointed Assistant-Governer of Capua...

The Siege of Bononia:
Aulus trained his army in 6 months, and then went up north, to raze some Gauls, and the first major town he attacked, was the city of Bononia. A battle to go into the books as one of the most bloody ever...

And in the winter he assaulted, he thought that those half naked celts would be damn cold there, running naked through the streets, but he forgot about the drugs.

In the first wave of assault Aulus stormed through the gates, and flew in a bunch of...Gaesatae!
It was the most horrible thing a general could ever happen...

The Gaesatae first checked his butt...

then knocked him unconscious...

And started r*ping him!

With tears in his eyes and still shaking Aulus fled the city:

His soldiers rushed to avenge him:

And the rapist quickly escaped Bononia...

The Gaesatae fled to Mediolanum and asked and received asylum there...
Nonetheless, the soldiers honored Aulus as their leader, and he decided to the attack of Mediolanum and Segestica, which were both governed by the Aedui Republic, which granted Asylum to the gaesatae....
