Khaîre, Mauritius! Yes, please do join me, my noble friend, a good wine deserves good company to share it with *smiles*

You are right about the gossip - have you seen the length of the queue outside the Temple of Serapion? I swear at least half the city believes they witnessed some incredible phenomenon they need to relate to the priests! *shakes head and laughs*

Do have some of these olives with your wine, Praefectus *pushes the dish across* they're very good. Oh, I also heard in the Agora you will be sailing for Greece very soon?
