TNGF
SELECTED
Emperor Titus
primary
A robust man in his early 30s with a strong, athletic build, typical of a Roman military leader. His face is clean-shaven in the Roman fashion, with sharp, commanding features and piercing dark eyes. His short, curly brown hair is neatly styled, and his skin bears the weathered tan of years spent campaigning.
Roman General
secondary
A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 40s with a weathered face marked by years of military campaigns. His short-cropped hair is streaked with gray, and his piercing dark eyes survey the procession with authority. A prominent scar runs along his left cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Jewish Prisoner
secondary
A gaunt, middle-aged man with a wiry build, his face marked by exhaustion and hardship. His dark, matted hair and beard show signs of neglect, and his sunken eyes reflect deep suffering. His skin is weathered, with visible bruises and cuts from captivity.
Priest of Jupiter
background
A middle-aged man of dignified bearing, with a lean but sturdy frame. His clean-shaven face is marked by deep-set eyes that convey both wisdom and solemnity. His hair is neatly trimmed in the Roman style, with streaks of gray at the temples.
Street Vendor
background
A middle-aged Roman man of average height with a sun-weathered face and calloused hands from years of manual labor. His dark hair is streaked with gray, tied back with a simple cloth band to keep it out of his face while working.
Dialog
Emperor Titus
Behold, Rome! The spoils of Jerusalem, testament to the might of our legions and the favor of Jupiter Capitolinus!
Roman General
The prisoners march well, Caesar. Not a single attempt to break ranks. They know their place now.
Emperor Titus
Let them walk with heads bowed, but not broken. Even in defeat, they are witnesses to Rome's mercy as well as her strength.
Roman General
Mercy is a luxury for the victors, Caesar. The Tenth Legion would have preferred their heads on pikes.
Emperor Titus
And that is why you lead soldiers, General, while I lead an empire. The people must see both our sword and our olive branch.
Roman General
As you command, Caesar. But mark my words—these Judeans will not forget their rebellion so easily.
Emperor Titus
Then let them remember this day, and know that Rome’s shadow stretches far—and her hand is swift when defiance stirs.
