Proscriptions of the Second Triumvirate

Setting
The Roman Senate chamber, a grand hall with marble floors and towering columns, filled with senators and officials. The room is dimly lit, with the afternoon sun casting long shadows through the high windows. The air is thick with tension and the scent of fear.

TNGF
SELECTED
Mark Antony
primary
A robust and imposing Roman general in his early 40s, with a muscular build, broad shoulders, and a strong jawline. His face is weathered from years of military campaigns, with deep-set eyes that exude both charisma and menace. His dark hair is cropped short in the military style, and he sports a well-groomed beard. His presence commands attention, exuding both authority and a hint of reckless abandon.
Octavian
primary
A young man in his early twenties, with a lean but athletic build. His sharp, angular features are accentuated by a clean-shaven face and piercing, calculating eyes. His hair is cut short in the Roman style, with a slight wave, and his posture exudes controlled confidence.
Lepidus
secondary
A middle-aged Roman statesman with a lean but sturdy build, his face marked by the lines of political calculation rather than battle. His dark hair is streaked with grey, combed back in the traditional Roman style, and his sharp eyes betray a mind constantly assessing the shifting tides of power.
Senator Lucius
secondary
An elderly Roman senator in his late 60s, with a frail but dignified build. His thinning white hair is carefully combed back, and his deeply lined face bears the marks of a long political career. His pale blue eyes are wide with fear, yet retain a glimmer of patrician pride.
Senator Gaius
secondary
A middle-aged Roman senator with a lean, wiry build, his face lined with the stress of political survival. His dark hair is streaked with gray, tied back in a traditional Roman style, and his sharp brown eyes dart nervously between the Triumvirs. His hands are slightly trembling, betraying his fear despite his attempts to maintain composure.
Scribe
background
A young male slave in his early twenties, slight of build with a gaunt face and sunken eyes from long hours of labor. His hands are ink-stained, and his fingers show signs of calluses from constant writing. His dark hair is cropped short in the style of Roman slaves, and his skin is pale from lack of sunlight.
Dialog
Senator Lucius
Noble Antonius, I implore you—strike my name from that accursed list. Have I not served Rome faithfully these thirty years?
Mark Antony
Faithful? Your 'service' reeks of Pompeian sympathies. The Republic has no room for men who whisper against Caesar's heirs.
Senator Gaius
Octavian, does the son of Caesar forget his father’s friends? My house sheltered his loyalists after the Ides—must my blood now water the Tiber?
Octavian
Shelter given under fear of reprisal is no virtue. The lists are just, Gaius. Rome must be cleansed.
Mark Antony
Hear that, Lucius? Even the boy speaks wisely. Your groveling only proves your guilt.
Senator Lucius
By Jupiter’s mercy, Antonius! This is contra morem maiorum—since when does Rome butcher her own senators like Gallic captives?
Octavian
Since the Republic demanded it. Guards—remove them.
