Public Servant (LB - I)

40 days out of the capital to inspect the handiwork of our troops. A show of might, or a practical defense and toll-station? I learned my lesson at the Danube, that sometimes one must make a stand even where it seems least practical. But this is a good location ... it has a basis in geography.

I'll let history judge me. We will see how my works stand the test of time, how long I am remembered. I didn't really want this job, but someone must do it to ensure that the peace and prosperity of the people are secured. This was thrust upon me by my predecessor, my adoptive father. But I swear to the gods I will do my best. I will ride throughout all of the provinces to understand the problems they face. And I will establish the majesty of the empire once and for all.

Kudos to Claire for getting me interested in this. Take a look at her posts and guess who she is playing this week.

In the meantime, if you can guess who I have chosen for a character, enter your guess by using the comments section. Thanks for playing!
