Crossing of the Rubicon
Julius Caesar stands at the banks of the Rubicon River, contemplating his decision to cross with his legion, an act that constitutes treason and civil war.
Setting
The banks of the Rubicon River near Savignano sul Rubicone, Italy. A narrow, shallow river cutting through the winter landscape, surrounded by bare trees and frost-covered grass. The immediate surroundings include a makeshift camp of Roman soldiers with tents and campfires.

TNGF
SELECTED
Julius Caesar
primary
A tall, lean man in his early 50s with sharp, aquiline features and piercing dark eyes that seem to see through men's souls. His hair is thinning and combed forward in the Roman patrician style, with streaks of gray at the temples. His face bears the weathering of countless military campaigns, yet maintains an aristocratic refinement.
Legion Commander
secondary
A seasoned military officer in his late 40s, with a robust build honed by years of campaign. His face bears the weathered lines of sun and wind, and his short-cropped hair is streaked with grey. His dark eyes are sharp, accustomed to surveying battlefields and assessing risks.
Centurion
secondary
A battle-hardened officer in his late 30s, with a muscular build and a deeply tanned face weathered by years of campaigning. His short-cropped hair is peppered with grey, and his dark brown eyes are sharp with vigilance. A prominent scar runs across his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Standard Bearer
background
A muscular Roman soldier in his late 20s, standing at approximately 5'8" with sun-darkened skin and close-cropped black hair. His face bears the marks of previous campaigns - a faded scar runs diagonally across his left cheekbone. His hands are calloused from years of gripping weapons and standards.
