A letter is delivered by a messenger boy carrying the seal of Consul Lepidus.

Salve Pro Consul Iulus,

I hope you may yet be alive. Since you ignored my last letter I do not expect to find you alive.

Recently the senate passed a series of bills that reforms our tax system. One of these bills includes that the pro consulates need to inquire how much their respective provinces can pay yearly. Based on these reports the senate will name a figure which needs to be collected and paid annually. We hope to hear from you soon.

Signed,
Consul Marcus Aemilius Lepidus.
