SEPT LXVIII. I would like to humbly ask you for some additional funds to maintain the 7 Legions defending the Rhine from the barbarion hordes.

Glitius Decianus was a 33 year old, equestrian, holding the Imperial appointment of Procurator of Belgica. This meant that he was in charge of the finance of the province and answerable to the Emperor rather than the Senate. As an equestrian he was lower than the Senators in status but still a wealthy man by the standards of the Empire as a whole. By Senatorial standards his wealth was modest (3 Talents per quarter as personal income). text/html 2010-07-28T12:28:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.full-moon.info/doku.php/megagames/ad69/fate Glitius Decianus Fate After having spent a deal of time scraping together money to pay for the legions of Germany & Gaul the self-titled 'Procurator of the West' went to Rome when the Western Governors stopped him from receiving the tax incomes. Arriving at Rome just as the German Legions stormed the city Glitius Decianus stayed outside the city & waited until the looting had finished before entering the city with the commanders of the Legions and Valerius Asiaticus, the Governor of Belgica. text/html 2010-07-28T12:27:57+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.full-moon.info/doku.php/megagames/ad69/senate Letters to the Roman Senate After the sacking of the Senate building a number of letters were recovered amid the ruins from members of the German Army Council to the Emperor & members of the Senate. These give a flavour of what they were telling the Emperor/Senate before they finally decided to march on Rome.
