TNGF
SELECTED
Gnaeus Julius Agricola

Domitia Decidiana

Dialog
Gnaeus Julius Agricola
Domitia... the Caledonian mists still cling to my dreams. Tell Tacitus... the eagles flew farther north than Rome knows.
Domitia Decidiana
Mi vir, the Lares guard your spirit. Juno hears my vow - your name shall not be buried with you.
Physician
The... final draught is prepared. Poppy and honey to ease the crossing. The fever has... burned its course.
Gnaeus Julius Agricola
Save your medicines, Greek. I face death as I faced the Brigantes - shield raised.
Domitia Decidiana
Husband! The household shrine is lit. Your father's mask watches over us.
Gnaeus Julius Agricola
Then let them see... a soldier's end. No wailing women. Just... the sound of the northern wind.
Physician
The household should... perhaps send for the libitinarii now. Dis Pater's servants come swift for such men.
