Pressing Matters

• The wars in Iberia, Thrace, and Numidia continue (at least technically)
• Jugurtha has arrived in Rome to surrender
• Several magistracies must be filled
• A fair portion of Rome has burned to the ground

[General Brewster]

Consul Maximus Caesoninus enters the curia in happiness for his election.

Senators may I thank you for an other wonderful year here with you.
Now to pressing matters when everyone arrives.

[Rhapture]

Quintus Valerius takes his seat and wonders why the Consul think half of Rome burning is wonderful

[Okmin]

Titus Scipio arrives with a letter from Consul Aquila.

Senators,

I have heard of the disastrous fire that recently swept through Rome. I know some of us have lost some property, I have myself, but as a Senate our focus should be on rebuilding the destroyed temples.

In Thrace, we continue to seek out Cotys for either battle or negotiations.

Consul Gaius Marius Aquila

[General Brewster]

Consul Maximus waits a second before responding.

To kick of this year i propose the funding of all repairs in Rome, And upgrading of temples to please the gods who clearly are not happy.

This year will be documented well for the sake of history so further generation can learn from it!

Sent a letter to my fellow Consul that he can continue fighting until Thrace is Roman.
Censor I am sure that when that happens you will see the land Rominized?

[Okmin]

"Romanizing the Thracians would be the job of the Senate and Proconsul of Graecia. Not a censor."

[ArkocentoArisen]

"Romanizing the Thracians would be the job of the Senate and Proconsul of Graecia. Not a censor."

Corelis Nods before speaking

I ask that the Consul respect my position, any matters regarding Thrace, are matters that most importantly concern the Proconsul of Graecia, or in other words me

[General Brewster]

Since the censor also issues census and i do not mean the counting he would also Rominize new conquered lands if we chose so..

Lex Restituo

All damage done by the fire in Rome shall be repaired on state funds

Lex templum

All temples in Rome Shall be upgraded, on state and private funds.
Private funds can be donated to the state for the building project.

[Okmin]

"Those bills are incredibly vague. We should list the specific temples and the amount of money to be spent."

[General Brewster]

I'm a consul not the quastor. With all these offices empty I only can be vague.

[Rhapture]

Yes, many private houses, homes, shops, and other buildings were destroyed, is the Treasury to pay for every citizens loss?

[General Brewster]

Upgrading Jupiter's temple will cost 50.000 and 20,000 for mercury temple.

[Okmin]

Scipio stands. "Since we have no quaestors, I volunteer to fill one of the positions."

[General Brewster]

Granted. can you sent me a report of the costs of rebuilding the city and upgrading the temples?

[Okmin]

"The temple to Jupiter will cost 50,000 denarii to rebuild. For Mercury, 20,000 to rebuild. To upgrade Mars' temple, 30,000."

[General Brewster]

Excellent,

Lex templum

Temple of Jupiter shall be rebuild for the cost of 50.000 Denarii, Mercury for 20.000 and the temple of Mars shall be upgraded for 30.000
Bringing the total cost at 100.000 denarii.
Private funds may be donated for this cause.

[Okmin]

"With respect proconsul: shouldn't you be in Greece?"

[ArkocentoArisen]

"With respect proconsul: shouldn't you be in Greece?"

I have been elected to my position today Consul, I am to leave yes, but I'd like to make sure all things are organized for my movements to the east, which seems to be untrue at this time...

[Rhapture]

Valerius comments.

I second the bill.
No Idea what he is going to do in Thrace


Lex Bellum Thracia
-Consul Gaius Marius Aquila shall take command of the legions in Thrace
-After this year Gaius Marius Aquila will have imperium in Grecia et Asia as Pro-Consul until the Thracians are suppressed.
-Lex Bellum Thrax passed in 91BC is hereby revoked.

Was passed last year, and Aquila is still in command there.

[Okmin]

"Aquila is consul, and he is in Thrace commanding the legions. Corelis was elected proconsul, which is an entirely different office."
