Ancient Rome: Beginning With The Legionnaire

Cassius is 70 years old this year, but he is the speaker of the Senate.

He presided over many things.

But he never expresses his opinion!

Is a typical neutral.

So it takes 20 years to work in the position of speaker.

The old Cassius could hardly walk anymore.

Then he came to the high platform of the parliament and took out the papyrus that he had prepared in advance.

"According to the topic raised by Elder Qin Na before! Regarding the expansion of the elders of the Senate!"

"As the speaker, I tell you that there is no problem with this issue. The number of members of the Senate is less than 300. It's time to add some fresh blood!"

Cassius spoke very slowly.

So that every elder present could hear very clearly.

""Two Sixty Zero" then go to the next link! Is there any suitable candidate for recommendation?"

At this moment, an elder stood up.

Both Mario and Sura were very surprised.

It was Flaccus, who had been taciturn.

Frankus was elected consul in 86 BC.

In his early years, he entered the Senate with his strong financial resources.

He is now one of the richest men in Rome.

Now that he can stand up suddenly, does he have a suitable candidate?

"Fracus, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Cassius looked at the other party and said.

"Of course there is!"

"I recommend the new nobleman of Rome - Crassus..."

At the same time, outside the Senate, Brian also met his old acquaintance Crassus.

"Crasu didn't expect you to be here?"

Things are more interesting than expected.

Originally, this door was opened only for Brian.

But I didn't expect that both Crassus and Cassirom wanted to share a share.

"Don't worry, Brian! This time, as long as you are qualified, you can enter the nursing home, and there is no limit on the number of people!"

Crassus glanced at Cassirom, and then said meaningfully.

"There is more than one quota to enter the Senate, but there is only one quota to become the head of the legion. It seems that someone wants to compete with you?"

Brian instantly understood that Cassirom was going to compete with him for the position of Legion Commander.

Then he sneered in his heart.

Just relying on this trash can command an army.

"You want to compete with me for the position of army commander?"

Brian looked at Cassirom with a half-smile.

If this is not the Senate.

Brian had already cut the opponent in the first place.

"Brian! Don't be complacent, the Thirteenth Legion is not your family either!"

after speaking

Not only Brian, but even Crassus laughed.

After Marius reformed in those years, many disadvantages were left behind.

That is, the military expenditure of the Republic to the legions is very little.

Basically, they are raised by the heads of each legion.

If there is no war, being a legion commander is a money-losing business.

Recently, there have been no wars in Rome for at least five or six years.

So the position of legion commander is not a hot one anymore.

What's more, it's a big taboo for you to want a legion from someone else for no reason.

The Senate would not support it either.

"Although it doesn't belong to my family, our family has been raising the Thirteenth Legion!"

Brian snorted coldly, and stopped looking at the boy.

Sooner or later, the thing that dies on a woman's belly!

Discussions continued within the Senate.

"Senior Felacus, tell me your opinion and reasons!"

Cassius questioned Felacus in accordance with the statute.

"The three generations of Krafft's ancestors are Romans, and his property has exceeded 500,000 gold coins! If he can become a senator, he must be more taxed by the Republic!"

500,000 gold coins.

The elders present could not help but gasp.

This is an astronomical figure.

You must know that the purchasing power of a gold coin is quite terrifying.

At the beginning of the Roman Republic, the Senate had an unwritten rule.

That is, the assets of each elder must exceed 100,000 gold coins.

One is to protect the interests of the nobles.

The second is to keep ordinary civilians out.

Fairness, democracy, and freedom are advertised in name.

But this is impossible.

Like the reformation of Gugula decades ago.

It only slightly weakened the interests of the nobles, but was killed by the elders of the Senate in full view.

Knowing when, relying on the property to enter the Senate has also become a way.

"Well! 500,000 gold coins should be able to enter the Senate, but it still depends on the opinions of the elders!"

Cassius, the chairman of the Senate, glanced at the elders present.

However, these veterans have some surprises.

Crassus is already a dark horse that came out halfway.

And it was still proposed by Flaccus, this guy is an obvious neutral.

For a while, the elders didn't have any good ideas.

"Then express your opinion on Crassus' entry into the Senate!"

Ancient Rome's statement was very simple.

But if you want to support a certain resolution or issue, you can just stand up.

One after another, some people stood up, most of them were neutrals.

As for the aristocratic faction and the populist faction, some people also stood up. After all, they wanted to win over the neutral faction.

Moreover, Flakus also has extremely strong strength in the Senate.

Soon nearly 110 elders stood up.

Cassiius, the old man who stepped into the coffin half-legged.

It took nearly two minutes to count the heads.

"A total of 110 people have more than half, I declare! Crassus 0.7 becomes the Roman Republic Yuan!"

"So, who else would you recommend!?"

Qin Na stepped forward directly. He had already been preempted before, so he couldn't fall behind this time.

"I support Brian, the current Deputy Commander of the Thirteenth Legion, to enter the Senate!"

"Then Elder Qin Na, what is your reason?"

"Now Brian owns more than 1 million gold coins, and he owns a gold mine, and pays taxes to the city of Rome more than 100,000 gold coins every year"

"More importantly, Brian is the son of Senator Lucius!"

The plan is very obvious, Lucius is almost 70 years old now, and he doesn't have a few days to live, Brian will enter the Senate sooner or later.

"And Brian has a great commanding talent!".
