Some weeks after having announced plans to the city that a new temple would be built following his inauguration of Flamen Dialis, Albinus the Elder began organizing many building colleges from around the city to come and meet with him. It was widely know that the Flamen Dialis sought out the advice and interest of builders and architects, and that he would begin the process of finding a proper place of the construction of Jupiter's latest temple soon.

Albinus made it clear to those who met with him that he preferred if this new temple had plenty of space to expand, in the off-chance it became more than just a small shrine. It wasn't clear to him if the Palatine Hill, where one would normally put such an important structure, had enough room for another.

After much slow contemplation and little help from the architects, a great section of the Palatine Hill has been cordoned off by the Collegium for the construction of the new temple. It is announced that the consecration of the area will be done in a grand ceremony that all Romans are invited to attend and observe.

[General Brewster]

Marcus Aemilius Lepidus arrives for the ceremony.

[Oznerol]

Milo arrives to the ceremony, wondering if wine would flow as expected.

[Xion]

Sextus Erucia Mergus arrives for the ceremony.

[Rhapture]

Quintus Caeclilius arrives for the consecration and makes his way over to Lepidus, "Ave, Marcus"

[General Brewster]

"Quintus, It has been a while since I saw you. How fare you?"

[Rhapture]

"Yes my cousin is going with Iulus to look at the date fortunes of the region. But I have also told him to keep an eye out."
"Sorry to hear about the wife, it was sad news. But that might open some opportunities for you."

[General Brewster]

"Yes my cousin is going with Iulus to look at the date fortunes of the region. But I have also told him to keep an eye out."
"Sorry to hear about the wife, it was sad news. But that might open some opportunities for you."

"Splendid to know there will be someone else then Iulus that's civilized and not a boy lover. " Marcus said while joking.

"I fear the supply of patrician wives is somewhat.. lacking. However I'm in negotiations with pro-Preator Sculpianus. The man however is very hard to reach and I'm not sure a marriage would secure his support."

[Rhapture]

"It goes well. Got into office this year, now to put some of my ideas into practice. And you?" he replied

[General Brewster]

As if he wouldn't know I lost my consular bid.. Marcus thinks to himself.

"A grieving widower still I fear. I hoped to shake it off me with the promise of the consulship. However I was betrayed.. When hits the ceiling in Macedonia I will move there to serve in the legions I think. And when Iulus is in command there is a distinct possibility will hit the ceiling." Marcus said with a joking but serious remark at the end.

[Rhapture]

"Well he is in Sicily now, so you might have to go there to catch him."

[General Brewster]

"I meant while in conversation with the man. Anyway what are these things you got planned ?"

[Rhapture]

"I meant while in conversation with the man. Anyway what are these things you got planned ?"

"Oh maybe a small religious law or two, I feel it has been neglected lately." Quintus replies

[General Brewster]

"Oh maybe a small religious law or two, I feel it has been neglected lately." Quintus replies

"I'm looking forward to these 'small' religious laws. Did anything of note with my 'gift' ? "

[Jokern]

Lucius Villius Tappulus arrives to witness the consecration of the new temple ground.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Sextus Cornelus Sulla arrives at the temple as well to view the proceedings. "Greetings Tappulus." he began "Planned any games for the year?"

[Jokern]

Sextus Cornelus Sulla arrives at the temple as well to view the proceedings. "Greetings Tappulus." he began "Planned any games for the year?"

Lucius greets the young Sulla.

"Ave, Sulla, I hope your family fares well. I do have a few games planned, though the most important this year will be the Ludi Romani in honor of Jupiter. Since the Flamen Dialis has given us the message from the King of the Gods, as well as beginning construction of this great temple in honor of him, I felt it only necessary to give a grand celebration to the protector of Rome. If the negotiations with the Italians are successful, it should also be in honor of our valiant legions who have fought to protect Rome and its people."

[Lucius Malfoy]

Consul Regulus arrives with his lictors, dressed in a ceremonial toga. His lictors remain outside of the temple's construction area as Lucius enters the area to witness this momentous occasion for Rome.

He immediately seeks out Sulla whose voice he hears among the crowds. He approaches Sextus with a smile, noticing Tappulus with him.

"Sulla, Tappulus! How are you two?"
