Re: Curia Hostilia, Consulate of Ahenobarbus Agelastus/Crassus
Quintus raises again :
As i stated before we need to vote on this mather senators, we will never get clarification if we keep drown out over each other, we need to agree on this mather soon becous we are running out of time.
I don' t think we need more troops, we will run out of money soon having more troops means bringing up more pay for the soldiers. If thy notice we can' t pay them thy will desert the legion and we will be lost.
Keep the lilttle money whe have to support the troops we already have.
I ask you senators which soldier will fight if he will not receive a compensation for riscing his live? Will we senators take up swords and fight the enemies our self ? If our enemies notice our legions have deserted us thy will not hesitate to attack us. You have to ask your self this question senators, which enemy will spare us when our legions have deserted us, which enemy will fear us if no one appears to defent our city? Keep the money we have left to pay our legions and pray to the gods thy will bring us victory over the Epiriots.
Quintus ends his debate and leaves the senates house, he is in deep thoughts when he enters his house on the Palatinus.
