    Default And Peace for All... (Closed RP)

    Consul Quintus Annius Milo had organized a meeting with the representatives of both Italian groups, the Marsic and the Samnites, in order to discuss the ending of what would come to be known as the Social Wars.
    The peace talks were taking place at the feet of the Mons Circeius, a hundred kilometers south of Rome. The Consul had taken quite an entourage with him, including his lictors and young Marcus Villius Tappulus.

    Milo has +1 auctoritas and is Consul
    He's dealing with a defeated enemy
    The peace offer is overly generous

    Mountains always held a somewhat sacred aura in the minds of most Italian peoples, and this gathering to bring peace was one they welcomed. Although many of their leaders were killed, several prominent leaders remained. One man spoke for what was a collection of nobles. His name was Quintus Papirius Valens. "Ave, Consul." he said by way of greeting. "Have you come to discuss terms of our re-incorporation?" This was surely going to be an awkward conversation. "We have watched events in Rome and acknowledge that many townships and regions in Italy have received greater recognition and rights."

    "Indeed, I've come, in representation of Rome, so that we can't stop calling each other enemies and begin again to treat us as the friends we're meant to be. This whole war has been a mess and shouldn't have even begun in the first place." Milo tried to remember all the rethoric classes he had received from his paedagogus, that old fart. "Let us deal with this matter quickly and swiftly and let me bring good news back to Rome."

    "The conscript fathers have decided to re-incorporate the tribes of the short lived Italian Republic into Rome. Except the Umbrians and the Samnites, who shall only receive Latin rights due to their responsability in leading this failed war effort, all the other Italic and Latin peoples will receive full Roman citizenship."

    Marcus Villius Tappulus stood silent behind Consul Milo, listening to the conversation between him and the Italians. While he was happy that the war was finally over, Marcus did not like that he had missed the opportunity to participate in the war effort, leading and fighting soldiers in battle and earning glory. Instead his father had kept him home, seeking out patrons for him in the city. Marcus was glad to have gotten the patronage of Annius Milo, for the man seemed like a competent statesman. They would surely do a lot of good work together, and Marcus hoped for more chances to prove himself on the battlefield.

    Quintus smiled. "These are generous terms, Consul." The Italians had feared reprisals. "I can accept these terms on behalf of the Italian principalities."

    "Let this day mark a new beginning to the Roman-Italian friendship." Milo smiled "We'll discuss the technical aspects of this peace deal in the future, now let's celebrate"

    The Consul signaled his entourage and they brought forwards several barrels of wine

    "LET THIS PARTY BEGIN, FOR BACCHUS!"
