Such a solemn state to find this place in.
Please don't.
A Roman walks into a bar and asks for a martinus. “You mean a martini?” the bartender asks. The Roman replies, “If I wanted a double, I would have asked for it."
"You do my family great favor. My line teeters on collapse, and the savior of Rome has saved the Calvisii."
"This is most unexpected, and an honor if I may say. You will be known through the annals of history, and I would be honored to accept this proposal if you will have it."
"I do, in fact, Aulus. My wife nearly died during his birth, so he is our only. He's was recently with Iulus while he was dispatching Hispania back into the Republic. He's a good son, a...
Cotta arrives at the Proconsul's Villa in Syracuse. He revokes all previous edicts, citing that one should not make a profit from governing. He had read the reasons of Sulpicianus' decisions and...
Cotta in favor (+3)
"I'm sure I will do that. I just hope Rome doesn't crumble to pieces before we may see it again."
Cotta sighed and nodded "I too share this sentiment. I myself with be away in Sicilia. I fear what we are leaving Rome to. I know I have had disagreements with Senators before, but I do not trust...
Cotta votes for Rusca (+3)
"I would also be willing to order construction of personal vessels myself within the next year should Rome require."
"You have most assuredly measured yourself of one worth Rome's respect, you certainly have mine." Cotta nodded at the Pontifex "Forgive me if I sound unpleasant or entertained, but surely I was not...
Cotta had a look of slight surprise "Censor..I...thank you. Your word carries much weight. You liberated Rome and asked nothing in return. I will say that I was nervous of your actions when I first...
"I must rise to speak in support of Rusca. A fleet, an effective and mobile fleet, should be ordered with haste. As my colleague has said, we are jeopardizing the pantry of Rome if Mithridates were...
The Consul was a good man from is limited interaction, as would Rusca which he knew first hand. Cotta smiled and nodded "It shall be delivered to your residence. I look forward to attending the grand...
Cotta looks at the plans in detail. He liked sponsoring the arts and entertainment. It's what kept Rome happy, but also docile. He still remembered Carbo entering the city and causing fear Cotta had...
"Of course. I am terrible sorry for any delay."

Cotta arrived as per invitation
"You shall do well, I think. The Legions could use someone of your piety."
"Salve, Consul. Of course." Cotta rose and slightly raised his hands in the direction of his wife so she would know...
Cotta votes in favor (+3)
"Why of course! It's good to get away from the politics of Rome and the threats affair. If you need anymore come next year, do let me know and I'll send you what I can."
Cotta smiled "That is quite alright. This is your event for the people of Rome. I am but an ardent supporter of it." Cotta nodded and looked out upon the grounds "This will do good. Even I seem to...
Cotta hollered at Rusca's words "Hear hear!"
Cotta arrived with his wife and sat under a shaded area. As he walked, he nodded to all of the other men, not interrupting their conversation.
A young olive skinned man glad in light leather arrived with a box for Rusca. It contained 5,000 denarii and a note
My friend,
Here are the funds promised for the newly announced games and...
Cotta sat where he had before he became Consul. He was disgraced, he felt. He was not cut out for Roman politics anymore. Actions didn't matter, it was what you could give and take that seemed to...

"At once, Sir. Should we encourage them to drink their fill why they can?"
Cotta nodded "As you say, sir." Aulus stayed near Crassus as to not lose pace on where he should be or what he should be doing.
Aulus stepped forward. He was young, and with being young brought stupidity and the hopes of glory "Sir, I volunteer to help push through the center and break this foe into once and for all."
"For how long? I don't carry much support in the Senate as compared to our colleagues, but I do think the people here have suffered enough with wars."
Canus Calvisius Cotta abstains from voting
"Not joint command. Iulus would serve fully independent in his actions, but would ultimately still report to Rome in all matters and would return once the campaign is complete for his due and...
"Proconsul powers without being Proconsul..." Cotta continued "Perhaps it would be more efficient and binding to simply coordinate a measure that would allow Iulus to continue the campaign overseen...
Cotta thought "I will see what I can do." He nodded "You're doing a good service to the city with this, Rusca."
Cotta had a blank expression "It shall be put to no such vote. You forget your place here. As the powers I am embodied from this office, this point of discussion is terminated, and noted so by...
Cotta didn't move when he was spoke to "It is, however, my decision to decide what is and isn't brought up to this body. Consul Iulus has a made a request that I view as unreasonable,...
