Motion passed. Start recruiting new fodd... I mean men, Senator !

[68 Powers]

haha. i will senator.

What shall we after patavinum is taken?

[Winter]

That area (all of Cisalpine Gaul) will be organized into the first proconsular zone, of course. It falls outside of the boundaries of Italy. The protection of it will then by the constitution fall to the Proconsul, and he will call in senate reinforcements if he needs them.

We still don't have a Censor, by the way. Is there ANYONE who will step up? Its not a hard position...

[Kritias]

"Salvete fellow senators;Excuse my absence during the first months of my Consulship but I was away in the country a little too much.Firstly,I would like to congratulate my Co-consul,Cato for his recent successes!Well done,Consul!Also,I am happy to see that the Senate is united under the firm leadership of Consul Cato and that the past bittering fights between Optimates and Populares have ceased!

Now,seeing the recent developments in Gaul,I have some inquires to make;Firstly,can the good Consul give us a report on what is the diplomatic stance between Gaul and other nations?Perhaps we could use some other nations,maybe the Germans,as a diversion in the frozen north instead of having all those -ix named scums concentrating on crossing the alps. Also,what is the condition of our army consul?Can you give us an exact report of how many men there are in every legion?

Not so fast, Tribune. The issue of borders still needs to be solved, of course. But then, giving the actual votes the issue is mainly over Messana, not Cisalpine Gaul.

[Winter]

Oh im sorry, I was under the impression that was finished. Would it be helpful if I just vetoed the rest of the proposals?

That's not what I would expect from a true Senator, Lepidus! The veto is made for an essential time and delicate issues, not for trivial political games !

[Winter]

Yes yes I know. ooc: just a joke :laughing:

*Cato Unrolls a scroll and starts to speak*

Senators of Roma,

Our finacial Situation is okay, we have lost a little money but is only becuase of my extensive contruction going on around italy to finish those military builds and to get the people healthy and out of the streets.

As for the Co-Consvl's concerns on gallic diplomatic relations.
They have no enemies besides us and the germanic tribes you refered to have no relations with anyone, i am surprised you know the exist.
i will also be posting up our military ranking and theirs.

The legion Status i will put in another post seince these are so big.

[68 Powers]

The legion status is very well, They are well fed and physically fit!
They listen to orders and carry them out with percise accuracy and deadly force.

Legio I Italica


Legio II Italica


Legio III Italica


Legio IV Italica


Legio V Italica

[Kritias]

"It seems that they have improved their military a lot during these last years;They nearly much our military power now...That sums up the worst of our fears,the Gauls are indeed come to invade us!Why else all this military build up all of the sudden? I move that we continue all necessary conscription to give us the upper hand against the Gauls.

SI VIS PACEM,PARA BELLUM

i am afraid,senators..."

OOC: Senator Praetorian Octavius is hereby exiled from Rome(under the auspices of Jupiter Capitolinus and the Senate moderators... )

[Marie Louise von Preussen]

Could we give these legions more creative and distinct names rather than just "Italica"? They'll be easier to name and identify.
