TNGF
SELECTED
Gnaeus Julius Agricola
primary
A gaunt, middle-aged Roman general with a weathered face marked by years of military campaigns. His once-powerful frame is now weakened by illness, with sunken cheeks and a pallid complexion. His short-cropped grey hair and beard are neatly kept despite his condition. His piercing eyes, though dimmed by pain, still hold a commanding presence.
Domitia Decidiana
primary
A noble Roman matron in her late 40s, with a dignified bearing and fine features. Her dark brown hair is streaked with gray and arranged in the intricate nodus style of the Flavian period, with a few loose strands from hours of vigil. Her olive skin shows signs of recent fatigue, with shadows under her piercing dark eyes that reflect both strength and sorrow.
Agricola's Physician
secondary
A middle-aged Greek man of slight build, with a neatly trimmed beard and keen, observant eyes. His olive skin is marked by faint lines of worry and concentration, and his hands are delicate yet strong from years of medical practice.
Agricola's Daughter
secondary
A young woman in her late teens or early twenties, with delicate features inherited from her mother Domitia Decidiana. Her complexion is pale, accentuated by the dim light of the room, and her dark brown eyes are red-rimmed from crying. She has long, wavy chestnut hair loosely tied back with a simple ribbon, a few strands escaping to frame her face.
Veteran Centurion
background
A grizzled old soldier in his late 50s, with a weathered face marked by years of service under the sun and in battle. His muscular frame, though slightly stooped with age, still carries the disciplined posture of a lifelong warrior. His short-cropped hair is mostly gray, and his piercing eyes reflect both wisdom and sorrow.
Dialog
Gnaeus Julius Agricola
The final formation approaches... Domitia, see the men are paid their wages from my chest.
Domitia Decidiana
Your orders will be executed, my general. The household stands ready.
Agricola's Physician
If it pleases you, domina, I would administer one final draught to ease his passage across the Styx.
Gnaeus Julius Agricola
No more medicines, Greek. Let me see the sky one last time.
Domitia Decidiana
The courtyard olives are heavy with fruit this season, husband. Just as they were in Britannia.
Gnaeus Julius Agricola
A good campaign... Tell Tacitus... the Caledonians fought well.
Agricola's Physician
The breath grows shallow. Pluto prepares his boat.
