TNGF
SELECTED
Antonia Minor
primary
A frail but dignified woman in her late 60s, with silver-streaked dark hair arranged in intricate braids. Her face shows the remnants of classical beauty now marked by illness—hollow cheeks and sunken eyes, yet her posture retains aristocratic bearing. Her hands are thin with prominent veins, one clutching a small amulet of Juno.
Caligula
primary
A young man in his mid-20s with a lean but athletic build, sharp features, and piercing eyes that seem to shift between calculating and vacant. His dark hair is neatly trimmed in the Roman style, and his clean-shaven face carries a faint smirk even in solemn moments.
Freedwoman Attendant
secondary
A middle-aged woman of Greek origin with a slender but strong build, her dark hair streaked with gray and pulled back in a simple bun. Her face shows the wear of years in service, with deep-set brown eyes that reflect both wisdom and sorrow. Her hands are calloused from years of labor, yet move with practiced grace.
Senator
secondary
A middle-aged Roman senator with a well-groomed appearance, his hair and beard trimmed in the latest patrician style. His sharp features and piercing eyes suggest a keen political mind, while his slightly stooped posture from years of leaning over scrolls and tablets gives him an air of scholarly authority.
Slave Boy
background
A thin, adolescent boy of about 12-14 years old with short-cropped dark hair and sunken cheeks. His olive skin is marked with faint scars from past punishments, and his large brown eyes dart nervously around the room.
Dialog
Antonia Minor
Gaius... come closer, my grandson. The gods grant me this final breath to remind you—Rome remembers all. Her mercy and her wrath.
Caligula
Dearest grandmother, how touching! Though I suspect Pluto's boatman cares little for mortal memory once the coin is paid.
Senator
The noble Antonia's wisdom shall guide us still—whereas her lineage ensures the divine favor of Jupiter upon our princeps.
Antonia Minor
Livia managed thirty years steering this family from the shadows. You'll destroy it in three.
Caligula
Ah, but destruction can be such... divine entertainment. Don't you agree, Senator?
Freedwoman Attendant
Domina... if it pleases... the physicians say the poppy draft may ease—
Antonia Minor
Save your remedies, child. I'll face Dis Pater with clear eyes.
