Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

Faced with Sura's fury.

Kasiroma could only listen, Sura was not only a strict father, but also a statesman and military strategist.

"If your mother didn't love you, you wouldn't be like this!"

Sura looked at her son who didn't live up to expectations, and said angrily.

"Even if you don't like the other party, at least you should investigate beforehand before taking the next step!"

While speaking, Sura took out a papyrus from the table, and handed it to his son Kasirom.

Cassirom unfolded the papyrus subconsciously.

It records Brian's expenses for the past few days.

150,000 gold coins were sent to Cateus' wife.

50,000 gold coins were given to the two consuls respectively.

Add up to a total of 250,000 gold coins.

250,000 gold coins are enough to cover the military expenses of two elite legions for a year.

"Father! Where did Brian get all this money?"

Kasiromu looked at Sura in disbelief.

He knew that the Kota family was not a very wealthy 963 family.

And there is still a legion that needs to be supported, and it needs to spend a lot of gold coins every year.

It is also impossible for old Kota to take out 250,000 gold coins for Brian to squander.

The only possibility is that the money is all Brian's.

"I told you years ago, but you just didn't listen, the legion is the most profitable place!"

Sura, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally knows that legion is the easiest way to make money.

The Roman Republic was a country of slavery, and made its fortune with slaves.

Usually capturing slaves can be sold for four gold coins per effort.

As for the Manchu tribes scattered on the plains of Western Europe, each small tribe has at least 50,000 to 60,000 people, and as long as one tribe is caught, it can be sold for a large sum of money.

Sulla speculates that Brian's money is probably obtained through slave trade in wars.

But this time Sura guessed wrong, Brian's money did not come from the slave trade.

Most of the slaves he captured were kept for mining.

"Then father! Can I also go to the army and be a legion commander?"

Cassirom asked in a low voice.

"It's not impossible for you to be a legion commander! But you are really..."

Having said that, Su La stopped short.

He knew his son was not soldier material.

At least judging from his own physical fitness, he is not even qualified for an ordinary Roman soldier.

And to be the head of the legion must have a very high military quality.

Cassirom has wasted more than 20 years on women's bellies.

"Speaking of which, I remembered one thing!"

Sulla noticed that Cateus of the Thirteenth Legion was now alive and dead.

And Brian is seeking the head of the Thirteenth Legion.

For this reason, he spent a lot of money to buy the wife of the former legion chief and the two current consuls.

It seems that he wants to be the commander of the Thirteenth Legion.

And Su La discovered one thing, Marius seemed to be supporting Brian too.

Sulla once fought with Mario, but the relationship between the two is not the general friendship of comrades-in-arms.

Over time, the two moved toward opposites.

Now Su La is only 50 years old, which is the prime of life for the elders!

And Mario was already old.

But since Marius supports him, I will never let him do it so easily.

"Cassilomo! Starting today, you will stay at home and learn military knowledge for me! Now that the position of commander of the Thirteenth Legion is vacant, we can fight for it!

(ccbg) Although Sura knew that based on his personal quality alone, Cassirom would definitely not be Brian's opponent.

But if it can cause a stumbling block for the other party and disgust Mario, it is also very good.

"But father! The ten talents I owe in gold..."

Cassirom said carefully.

Based on his understanding of Crassus, the money-grubber, if he doesn't see gold after three days, he will definitely make a fuss to the Senate.

"I know about this! But it may not be a bad thing for you, let you know that this is a lesson!"

Having said that, Sura rolled her fists tightly.

For a nobleman like him, even if he took out 10 talents of gold, it would be very painful.

"Okay, you are not allowed to leave the house during this time, and read books for me here?"

...

Brian and Scarlett did not go back to their hometown, but went into one of the largest gold jewelry stores in Rome.

A troop of soldiers guarded the gate.

After all, the law and order in Rome is not as good as expected.

But Brian has no shortage of gold, and now he wants to buy some gold jewelry for the beautiful woman beside him.

Scarlett, the red earl in military uniform, looks extremely heroic, but lacks a trace of femininity.

"This is the largest gold jewelry store in Rome!"

Brian walked in with Scarlett.

Several guard soldiers saw Brian wearing muscular plate armor and did not stop them, but watched the two of them go in.

In ancient Rome, muscular plate armor was almost a symbol of identity and status.

Muscular plate armor was often the emblem of the military's top generals.

It is impossible for ordinary citizens to become senior military generals, because that is the privilege of the nobility.

"So it's Master Brian!"

The owner of the store here knows Brian, and Brian has bought gold jewelry from him before.

"Any good ones out there recently?"

Brian glanced at the gold jewelry on the counter, either worn out or dull in luster.

"Master Brian, you are here, our store has recently hired a Greek engraver with a high salary!"

The store owner quickly took Brian to a counter, and saw that it was covered with several golden flowers.

Flowers made entirely of gold were very rare in ancient Rome.

Even Brian only got one in Gaul.

But that one was cursed.

The Golden Cursed Flower came to mind.

"You can't have anything here except flowers!"

"There are indeed some special things, I wonder if Mr. Brian is interested in you?"

The store owner said in a low voice. .
