Finally, I have become consul with much help from Crassus and Pompey, the other two members of the triumverate. I shall make my year in consul, 59 B.C., a year to remember. Thank you who elected me consul and, of course, Crassus and Pompey. I will not let you down as consul!
I look forward to having such a wonderful consul like you. This will certainly be a year to remember. I hope this does not lead to a bad chain of events that will eventually kill you...

I hope that you will do great as consul of Rome, and you are welcome for helping you become the consul. I hope that we can stay great political partners.

Isn't it odd how your friends turn out to be your mortal enemies?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouraging words, Andronicus Fructosis. I do hope that me being consul does not lead to my death, as well.
ReplyDeleteCrassus thank you once again for helping me become consul. I, great Julius Caesar, have managed to do so much already partially thanks to people like you. I hope I always have reliable supporters.
ReplyDeletePublius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus Africanus Numantinus, it is simply what happens when men become eager for power. They begin to mistrust each other and break alliances to become all-powerful.
