Setting

The grand courtyard of the Roman garrison in Alexandria, surrounded by towering limestone walls adorned with military banners.

TNGF
SELECTED
Vespasian
primary
A sturdy, middle-aged Roman general with a broad, weathered face marked by years of military campaigns. His close-cropped salt-and-pepper hair frames intense brown eyes that miss nothing. He has the muscular build of a career soldier but carries a slight paunch from recent years of relative comfort in Egypt.
Legion Commander
secondary
A battle-hardened Roman officer in his early 40s, with a muscular build and weathered features. His face bears several faded scars from past campaigns, and his short-cropped hair is streaked with gray. His piercing dark eyes survey the scene with military precision.
Egyptian Governor
secondary
A middle-aged man of Egyptian-Greek descent with olive skin, a neatly trimmed beard, and sharp features. His build is lean but slightly softened by years of administrative work rather than physical labor. His dark eyes are watchful and calculating.
Standard Bearer
background
A rugged soldier in his late twenties, standing tall with broad shoulders and a sun-tanned face marked by years of campaigning. His short-cropped dark hair is damp with sweat, and his muscular arms bear the scars of previous battles. His piercing brown eyes are fixed on the imperial eagle standard he holds aloft.
Treasury Slave
background
A middle-aged Egyptian man with a wiry frame and sun-weathered skin, his calloused hands accustomed to long hours of writing. His short black hair is streaked with gray, and his dark eyes are sharp with quiet observation. A faint scar runs along his right forearm, a remnant of past punishments.

Dialog

Vespasian By Mars' sword - you've thrown me into deeper waters than the Nile itself!
Legion Commander The Seventh stands ready, Imperator. Judea's eagles will follow when they hear the news.
Egyptian Governor Illustrious Imperator, may I present the grain accounts? Alexandria's bounty is... or rather, shall remain at your disposal.
Vespasian Keep your granaries full, Governor. Rome eats whether emperors live or die.
Legion Commander The Praetorians in Rome still favor Vitellius. This acclamation is but the first battle.
Vespasian Then let Vitellius choke on Egypt's bread while we secure the ports. The lay of the land favors patience.
Egyptian Governor The gods have spoken through your legions, Dominus. The Nile's flood comes... that is to say, your rise comes at the appointed hour.
