Roman Slave Owner

Li Wei has also been paying attention to these matters. Lepida initially obtained a lot of property of the public enemy of the country in the name of being close to Su La during the civil strife.

But two years ago, Sulla resigned from the position of dictator for life just like in history. At this time, Lepidus exposed his true face against Sulla.

He made speeches against Sulla more than once on various occasions, not only won the support of those nobles who were exiled, even Pompey also supported him.

It was because of their support that Lepidus became the consul of the year.

Because of this matter, Sura, Lepidus, and Pompey were almost in the same situation.

"Is there really no other way?"

Levi asked.

"It's very difficult. The situation in Rome is very tense now. The populist faction and the aristocratic faction are in the same situation."

Serabio said meaningfully.

Li Wei just thought about it for a while, and he understood the reason.

Their worries are completely normal. This is another conflict between the populace and the aristocrats, which eventually developed into a war.

After Lepidus resigned as consul, he went to recruit two legions of his own, and ended up rebelling directly, wanting to become a lifelong dictator like Sulla.

It just didn't work, otherwise there might be another tragic massacre in Rome.

This made Li Wei very upset. Could it be that the 300,000 dinars were converted into goods?

At this time, they came to People's Square.

A large crowd gathered in a corner of the square, and a very loud voice was echoing in the square.

"It's Lepidus."

Serabio said.

"Come on, let's go and have a look."

Li Wei thought for a while and said.

Everyone followed Li Wei and walked there, and soon they found a handsome young man on the periphery of the crowd.

"Pompeo, I didn't expect you to be here."

Li Wei walked over and said, it really is Pompey, a handsome young man with a green hat.

Pompeo's face changed slightly, and then he squeezed out a smile.

"Li Wei, it's been a long time."

The two sides hugged gently, but Serabio and the others looked at Pompeo with indifferent expressions. They knew what Pompey had done during this time.

"What is he saying?"

Levi asked.

"It's nothing, you will understand after listening."

Pompeo said with some embarrassment.

Li Wei nodded and listened carefully to Lepidus' speech.

"Dear fellow citizens of Rome, the massacre a few years ago was a naked tragedy. Countless nobles and knights who were noble and loyal to Rome were brutally killed, and their property was shamelessly deprived. What did they do? Something went wrong to end up like this.”

"Which law made them enemies of Rome? No! No law allowed them to do that!"

"That was a brutal massacre, that was an organized robbery, the property of those massacred enemies of Rome should be returned!!!"

hear here,

Someone let out a cry of excitement.

Someone shouted directly: "Return the property! Clear their charges!"

"Return the property! Rehabilitate the charges!"

Hearing this, Li Wei's face changed.

"Is this the person you support?"

Li Wei said with a playful face.

He didn't believe it, Pompey didn't know that he had made a lot of benefits in the civil war.

That was an asset worth tens of millions of dinars. If it was returned, Li Wei swore that he would kill someone.

Pompey was even more embarrassed, but calmed down quickly.

"I didn't know what he looked like at the time."

Li Wei sneered, and it was over if he didn't know the matter.

It's fine if you oppose Sura, but don't drag me along.

"So can you stop supporting him?"

Levi asked.

"This... I'm friends with him."

Pompey said with an apologetic expression.

Li Wei stared at him firmly. The moment he met Pompey, he knew that their friendship would not last long.

Because Pompey is a crazy pursuit of honor, for the sake of honor, he can be an enemy of anyone.

Li Wei's limelight has faintly overshadowed Pompey, how could Pompey like him.

"Really? I'd like to see how he makes me spit out those possessions."

Li Wei said with a sneer.

After speaking, he took Serabio and others and left here directly.

"This Pompey, I don't think he is a good guy at all. Knowing that this will harm the interests of the Patriarch, but still doing this is simply shameless."

Serapio spat hard and said.

"That's right, many of Sura's subordinates have broken with him, and the two sides are in the same situation."

Ramirez said.

Li Wei has always heard that Su La's faction has a bad relationship with Pompey, but he did not expect it to have developed to this extent.

But Li Wei knew the reason why Pompey was Sura. Who told you to force Pompey to divorce his wife and marry your ex-wife's daughter.

But you can't implicate me, Li Wei feels that he has been wronged, more wronged than Dou E.

Shortly after returning to his villa on Capetto Hill, Sulla's invitation letter arrived, inviting him to watch the gladiatorial match held the next day.

***

The Colosseum is located in the Morcia Valley between the Palatine Hill and the Aventine Hill. It is 2180 Roman feet long and 998 Roman feet wide (one Roman foot is 0.29 meters), enough to accommodate more than 100,000 spectators.

It is a semicircular arena, the western half is divided by a straight line, where there are 13 arches, the central arch is the main entrance, the main entrance to the arena.

Other arches lead to the chamber, where gladiators and beasts of prey were kept.

Directly opposite the main entrance is the Arc de Triomphe, through which the victorious gladiators passed. Connecting the arch and the Arc de Triomphe is a low wall of five hundred Roman feet.

In the middle of the low wall stands the Obelisk of the Sun, flanked by columns, altars and statues.

When Li Wei, Serabio and others arrived, there was already a sea of ​​people, and the stands, which could hold 100,000 people, were already filled with people of all kinds. food.

Seeing so many elders wearing purple-bordered toga and red-bordered toga, and the justice surrounded by a young man, someone shouted, "Lucius Levi."

"Long live Li Wei!"

"Long live Li Wei!"

"..."

Suddenly there was a burst of shouts in the arena.

Li Wei suddenly felt overwhelmed. He didn't expect so many people to remember him after he hadn't been in Rome for so long.

He waved to the crowd, and then came to a stand directly above the Arc de Triomphe with the eyes of more than 100,000 people.

This stand is specially prepared for senior officials and senior officials, and a large number of senior officials and senior officials have already settled here.

Many of these people Levi didn't know, but they were all very enthusiastic.

They knew that Li Wei sent several high-ranking officials to Rome every year, and in the long run, Li Wei would become a very powerful force in Rome.

Even the consul Catullus stood up, "Li Wei, sit here."

Li Wei will intervene every year when the consul competes, and Catullus is the person Li Wei supported last year, so he is very enthusiastic about Li Wei.
