Excerpt from The Eagle and the Wolf X- Trials and Triumph
“The Imperator is in the Curia Hostilius where the Senate meets,” Roscius explained, ”or in his home on the Aventine. Titus is most often found in the Castrum Praetoria, outside the Servian Walls to the east. He can live with his Jewish princess there, which he cannot do inside the city. Some stupid law about crowned heads inside thepomerium.”
“Then I suggest we cross the Sublician, and not the Aurelian bridge,” Rutilius said. He pointed to the Campus Martius, to which the Aurelian Bridge led. “I would avoid that.”
Roscius agreed. “Your route will take us through the Forum Romanum, something which your boys have never seen. It would be nice to show them the Glory of Rome; it might impress the hell out of them.”
Rutilius snorted. “No building, no matter how grand, will impress a Germanic,” he said. “They respect men with honor, not rocks piled atop one another.”
