OOC: Assuming it is fine and they haven't been cancelled.
-------
"It must be a fine day, today. All that sunshine and I'm here with my books" - Cassius Scipio looked at his garden from his villa. He was then interrupted by a Greek dressed provocatively walking with a... man, or so it seemed to his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and looked again to discover it was his Patrician friend Decius. Apparently the young man was corrupted by the lascive dances and gestures of his slaves.
"This is a bad sign!" - thought Cassius - "Since Flaminius overran these Greek travestites they are corrupting our hard souls with their music and their shameful habits".
Refusing to look again at them he came back to his library. Immediately he seemed like having a bright new idea. Of course! He would have a chance to test his skillful rhetorics, and probably earn rewards for that. "Seems like an excellent proposition!", he concluded. Then he sent his Slave Eolos with these instructions, written in perfect Attic:
"
Eolos, you are a loyal slave. You have never tried to invite me to your bed, to seduce my wife or to bring me to the effeminate vices of your fellow countrymen and the degenerate souls among us. You are an example for me, my family and all the Greeks.
I will send you to the Courtroom to sign up for a few cases of my... particular... interest.
MARINUS VS. AMANCIO - THEFT
GALLUS VS. RAVILLA - JURY TAMPERING
I will be the Defense Attorney in all of them.
Thank you. Go now, Eolos.
"
~Cassius Julius Scipio
