    Default Villa of Aulus Junius Horatius

    Welcome to villa of Horatius residence of Aulus Junius Horatius

    Biography

    Aulus Junius Horatius

    Born: 71 BC

    Born in the province of Rome itself Aulus was born in the Patris family that long ago had lost it greatness and influence in the senate.
    Even tough his family has held major political offices in the past, Aulus had to accept lower rank of office that held little influence
    compared to his familys past achievements.
    Even tough he has his family's honor and name in his mind his first duty is to none other that the republic itself.

    For a young mind Aulus is adept and well educated in the art of oratory, but he has not recived much of a military training and mostly has learned
    tactics from legends and common known war stories.

    Mostly Aulus has been living by his family's side and he has inherited more than keen mind from his father that was not man of small ambitions,
    but was a man of small deed none the less.
    Now Aulus has his fathers two small, but productive farms and mining facility in outskirts of italy in exchange for promise to his father in his
    dying bed: Make me proud.

    Aulus is educated, but not experienced politican and has temperament that is usually directed to them who act against what he holds fair and right.
    Even with his temperament he can be reasoned with and to be brought to understand reason behind the words even if he does not first see it.

    "I merely came to welcome your master, our newest Senator to Rome, my good man, is there a possibilty i may be able to speak to him?"

    Gnaeus smiled, and waited for the small man to reply.

    "I shall inform him immediately"

    Small man bows before leaving in slight rush.

    After few moments young man and for the looks of him not too athletic one comes behind the slave.

    "Senator Aulus Junius Horatius" The slave says before his master can show him to leave.

    "Welcome to my Villa Senator..." Aulus pauses for a second and observes his quests face for a second before continuing "Gnaeus I presume. Forgive me if I'm wrong, all the faces are still bit new to me."

    Aulus smiled a little

    "Forgive my ignorance, but I haven't been in the city itself for long and though I have been appointed senator for this year I have not had the time to visit the senate house itself or take part in senate sessions.
    My understanding was that my occupation was officially meant to start in next year."

    Aulus gently shaked his head while still continuing to smile.

    "No, nothing comes to my mind at the moment. I appreciate the gesture very much though, always a pleasure to meet political colleague. May trust you in giving advice when in need of such?"

    Aulus bows slightly and walks next to Gnaeus

    "Would you like some wine or other treats in the garden, assuming you are not in a hurry?" Aulus showed his hand at the door and set a slow walking pace towards it.

    "It would be my pleasure Senator, thank you for the offer."

    Gnaeus was happy, there was a possibility that today he had made himself a new ally.

    Aulus nods to Gnaeus and shows him to the garden where waits four stone benches and low table. After this he orders his slaves to prepare minor feast of fruit, wine and cheese in honor of his quest.
    The feast is soon completed.

    "Feel free to help yourself to anything you see here." Aulus shows overall with his hand "Even tough you are here to visit me, might i be asking how are you faring at the political front. Not meaning to pry of course."

    ooc-fair enough

    Senator Gnaeus took a handful of grapes and slowly munched them while he spoke to his fellow senator.

    "Well, this is my first year as a senator, i came to Rome about 4 months ago, since then i have been learning the art of politics from my fellow senators and quite recently in fact i have applied to become a Quaestor for next year. Hopefully i'll gain enough votes but my rival is quite a popular senator. Thats about it really."

    Aulus held himself of eating much nothing more than an apple while listening and nodding to his fellow senator.

    "I see that I still have some catching up to do. What can you tell me about this "popular" senator that competes with you for the seat of Quaestor?"

    "I believe i have mislead you there senator, i made it sound as if we were really competing. I apologise for not being clear, there are two seats for Quaestor and fortunately this year only two candidates. I really believe that we are not competing for the competition but however votes. For the more votes you get the more populare you are with the rest of the Senate. This other Senator has been around much longer so i believe that he will probably gain more votes. I don't mind really i actually quite like him, i was considering voting for him myself."

    Aulus was bit amused of the senators reaction.

    "Don't worry senator, i didn't expect you two to be enemies of sort. After all we all serve the republic and not the senate for it's votes." Aulus laughed a little and poured some wine for his quest and himself.

    "It's unfortunate that i cannot vote until next years for the positions and so can't give you my own voice." Aulus sips from his cup and puts the goblet on the table.

    "Anyway, may I still inquire what are your interests in office of Quaestor beside the common and public duty of any senator?"

    Gnaeus laughed as well

    "I don't think we're allowed to be enemies really. My interest in being Quaestor is to do my duty to Rome, i have always been quite good with finance, and i believe that if i can apply myself to the position then i should go for it. Not doing that and leaving it up to someone who may be less capable would be an insult to Rome"

    Aulus smiled for a while and then lift up his goblet slowly and bowed slightly towards Gnaeus.

    "I agree with you good Gnaeus" After this he sipped from his goblet.

    After this Aulus showed once again fruits and other food that layed on the table

    "Please have some, there is still plenty and it would be shame to waste this meal".
