    "You are now speaking down of our ancestors? What a pity, I once believed you to be a good Roman, no you've proved your worthlessness." Faustus's choler was unusual, but this man, who had claimed that Pallas had committed treason was now crushing their ancestors. "If they are so mighty...if they are so powerful and able to be the "invincible" as you claim them to be how did they allow themselves to be conquered by us? Considering you claim us to be such low people."

    And what would you have done, Poplicola? Let them be at peace? I silenced the opposition in Pella and Edessa, you would've let those opposition continue. I silenced dissent before it can even rear its head, you would've let it fester and grow.

    I did what was necessary.

    You silenced it for now,by using fear, but in 20 years that fear will be forgotten and be replaced with rage.

    "and then we silence it again, and we silence it as much as we need to protect the Roman way of life, the true way of life." Faustus added to the end of Aulus's speech.

    Did I once use the word "invincible" in these halls? Did senator Kaeso fill you up with wine before he left Rome as well?

    Lucius turned to Pallas.

    Section IV was not even part of the bill Pallas, you had no free hand in Macedonia and you had no right to act without senatorial consent. The fact that the rest of the body and at Edessa that included myself let you have some semblance of freedom in your campaign is unforgivable. Section IV required a unanimous vote on the rest of the bill, it did not. One senator votes no, another abstained, therefore the addendum is void and you are guilty of illegal warfare. If this senate chooses to drop the charges in a vote I will stand down, until then my position is known.

    Faustus listened as Poplicola trailed off stating that "If this senate chooses to drop the charges in a vote I will stand down, until then my position is known." Faustus rose to his feet and smiled wickedly. "I propose that the Senate move to strike down these charges immediately."

    I second the motion...

    A devious smile crept along his face.

    It shall be tabled and put to vote starting next term.

    "The people have spoken then." Faustus took a seat.
