TNGF
SELECTED
Antoninus Pius
primary
A man in his early 50s with a dignified bearing, his face lined with the wisdom of years in public service. His dark eyes are calm yet penetrating, framed by a neatly trimmed beard that is beginning to show streaks of gray. His posture is erect, exuding an air of quiet authority.
Senior Senator
primary
A venerable man in his late 60s, with a lean but dignified frame. His face is deeply lined with age and wisdom, framed by a neatly trimmed white beard. His sharp, piercing eyes convey both authority and a lifetime of political acumen. His posture is upright, though slightly stooped with age, and his hands are gnarled from years of holding the fasces.
Praetorian Prefect
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face marked by a scar running from his left temple to his jawline. His piercing dark eyes constantly scan the room, and his short-cropped hair is beginning to gray at the temples. His muscular build suggests years of military training.
Young Senator
secondary
A lean man in his early 30s with sharp, angular features and dark, close-cropped hair. His olive skin is smooth, and his dark brown eyes are keenly observant. He has a slightly aquiline nose and a clean-shaven face, typical of Roman nobility during this period.
Praetorian Guard
background
A tall, muscular man in his late 20s with a clean-shaven face, short-cropped dark hair, and a battle-hardened demeanor. His piercing eyes constantly scan the surroundings, and a faint scar runs across his left cheekbone.
Dialog
Senior Senator
By the sacred authority vested in this body, and by the unanimous will of the Senate and People of Rome, we declare Titus Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus as Imperator Caesar Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius.
Antoninus Pius
We accept this sacred trust with humility before the gods and reverence for our ancestors. May Jupiter Optimus Maximus grant us wisdom to uphold the mos maiorum.
Praetorian Prefect
The Guard stands ready. All approaches are secured.
Senior Senator
Let the Acta Diurna record this day as one where Rome's fortune smiles upon us with such a worthy successor to Divus Hadrianus.
Antoninus Pius
The first act of our principate shall be to confirm all senatorial privileges and military donatives, as is just and proper.
