Proclamation of Septimius Severus

Septimius Severus is proclaimed Emperor by the Pannonian legions in the courtyard of Carnuntum, defying the current rulers of Rome and marking the beginning of his bid for imperial power.

Setting

The courtyard of the legionary fortress at Carnuntum, surrounded by high stone walls and watchtowers, with the standards of the Pannonian legions planted in the ground. The cobbled ground is packed with soldiers and officers, facing a raised platform where Septimius Severus stands.

Characters

Septimius Severus
primary
A man in his late 40s with a lean but muscular build, his face bearing the weathered lines of a lifetime of military campaigns. His dark, close-cropped hair is beginning to gray at the temples, and his piercing eyes command attention. His posture exudes authority, with a straight back and broad shoulders that speak of his soldierly discipline.
Legion Commander
secondary
A grizzled veteran in his late 40s, with a stocky build honed by decades of military campaigns. His face bears the weathered lines of sun and wind, and his piercing grey eyes command respect. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to jawline, a testament to past battles.
Veteran Centurion
secondary
A grizzled man in his late 40s, with short-cropped iron-gray hair and deep-set eyes that have seen too many battles. His face is weathered with scars across the bridge of his nose and left cheek. Broad-shouldered with a soldier's posture, though he favors his right leg slightly from an old wound.
Standard Bearer
background
A sturdy legionary in his late 20s, with a sun-bronzed face and short-cropped dark hair. His muscular frame is evident beneath his military garb, and his eyes shine with fervent loyalty. A faint scar runs across his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Young Legionary
background
A fresh recruit in his late teens, with a lean but sturdy build from recent training. His face is still smooth with youth, though tanned from days spent drilling outdoors. His dark brown hair is cropped short in military fashion, and his hands show fresh callouses from handling weapons.
