Formation of the Second Triumvirate

Octavian, Mark Antony, and Lepidus secretly meet in Bononia to draft the Second Triumvirate, a pact that divides the Roman Republic among them, consolidating their power after Caesar's assassination.

Setting

A dimly lit private chamber in a wealthy Roman villa in Bononia, with thick stone walls and heavy wooden doors to ensure secrecy. The room is sparsely furnished, with a large central table dominating the space.

TNGF

SELECTED

Octavian

primary

A young man in his early twenties, with a lean but athletic build. His features are sharp and intelligent, with piercing grey-blue eyes that seem to assess everything with calculated precision. His hair is light brown, cut short in the Roman style, and his face is clean-shaven, reflecting his youth and ambition.

Mark Antony

primary

A ruggedly handsome man in his early 40s, with a muscular build from years of military campaigns. His dark, curly hair is cropped short in the Roman style, and his face bears the weathered lines of a soldier who has spent much of his life outdoors. His piercing dark eyes convey both intelligence and a hint of danger.

Lepidus

secondary

A middle-aged Roman statesman with a solid but unremarkable build, his face lined with the cares of political life. His dark hair is streaked with grey, and his eyes are watchful, though lacking the piercing intensity of his fellow triumvirs.

Scribe

background

A thin, middle-aged man with a slightly hunched posture from years of bending over scrolls. His dark hair is streaked with gray, and his hands bear ink stains from constant writing. His sharp eyes dart nervously between the triumvirs as he works.

Dialog

Mark Antony By Mars' spear, these terms favor you too heavily, Octavian! The legions will not stand for it.

Octavian Does not Rome herself favor the heir of Divus Julius? Surely you would not deny the will of the gods... or the Senate.

Lepidus Noble sirs, perhaps we might consider... a more equitable division of the provinces? For the stability of the Republic.

Mark Antony Equitable? When this boy would take Rome herself while we guard the frontiers?

Octavian The boy who avenged Caesar's murder while others dallied in the East. But let us not quarrel over past deeds—only future necessities.

Lepidus If it please you both, the hour grows late. The proscription lists must be finalized before dawn.

Mark Antony Aye, let blood settle what words cannot. But mark me, Octavian—this pact binds us only so long as Fortuna smiles upon it.
