"Excellent, my friend." He smiles. "I am glad for your support with the matters regarding the ager publicus also - if only we could have some sort of bill passed to provide that it be dealt with."
"Consul." He says with a soft smile, nodding slightly. "I am sure you would make a fine praetor; particularly if you are like your brother."
He contemplates something for a few moments, but...
"I cannot do that, Sextus. I have as much support as you - if not more." He shrugs, clearly unmoved by his proposal.

He took a lengthy...
He smirks at the story, grinning. "I can tell you that I sympathise with your brother. I have a statue of Etruscan origin in my own home - my family has had it for some three, four, centuries now and...
"Salve, Mergus." He smiles. He had got on well with the man previously.
"How have you been this year? Our finances seem to be as healthy as ever under your stewardship."

"Given the extraordinary circumstances in Asia it would be foolish of us not to extend the proconsul's grant by a year to weather this crisis. I propose the following:"
The grant of pro-consular...
"Albinus speaks wise, to promote the laws made when we owned little more than Rome now is both foolish and stupid. It would result in nothing less than chaos. Perhaps we should take the land from the...
"None at all, Consul." He responds, offering a smile at the appointment. Should he be dismissed he would leave soon after to take his post.
"I served a little in the Social War, consul. Nothing on this scale, though."
He had not contemplated the issue of experience, but it mattered little, he would gain it in this conflict; he was...

Marcus Fabius Ambustus runs for Praetor.
Marcus Fabius Ambustus votes FOR.
Ambustus nods at Milo's proposal.
"Much as we share the consulship for security, two perfects would help ensure stability in Rome."

"You ask for too much, Iulus. At least until your name is cleared with regards to your previous...
"He would make a better choice than Scipio, then.." Ambustus grumbles, "though I would prefer Albinus, who has had no hand in this sorry state of affairs at all, if he is willing."
"Was he present at the riot?"
Marcus' immediate question would cut through Iulus' words as soon as he reached 'consul' - it was clear what rested on the Quaestor's mind.
