Salvete, amici! I am glad you all made it to the grand city of Rome! Granted, all roads lead here, so I'm not surprised! Ha!
But where are my manners! I am Lucius Aemilius Merula, of the Aemilii who live over on the Caelian hill. I'm on my way to the Forum as we speak, where I hear Cicero is about to start his prosecution of Gaius Verrus, so I am very excited to hear what he has to say.
You don't have to join me, of course. Rome is full of wonderful places to explore and people to meet. The Republic has been very prosperous of late. Feel free to stop by my shop just off the Via Labicana; I'm always eager for news from the rest of the provinces.
(So basically this will be set in Republican Rome... I gave the Gaius Verrus case for a general timeframe, so Caesar is alive... However, this does not have to follow historic events
Rules:
- Characters' names can be either Roman, Greek or Old-Germanic. You can have a Berber/Pictish/Levantine character as well, provided you have a reason for your character being in Rome.
- Regarding Roman names, here is a link to help you with them ('cause I love stuff sounding legit: http://www.novaroma.org/nr/Choosing_a_Roman_name )
- Fantasy elements are not like dragons or a mage on every street corner, but more contained and simple "magic" if you want to go down that route)
