Imperator.
-
Senator Metellus.
-
Apologies for lack of proper reception.
-
I was unaware you'd strayed so far
-
from the comforts of mother Rome.
-
I seek neither vain formality nor luxurious appointment.
-
Only answer to singular question,
-
why did the Senate granted you an army
-
only for it to stand idle half day's march from Sinuessa?
-
The Senate did not grant me an army.
-
They granted command.

Every horse, every sword, every man your eye lays upon
