Upon reaching the temple Gaius was looking for rex sacrorum, Titus Annia Florianus and old friend. Maximinus has authorize me as rex sacrorum to perform my duties and sacrifice a ram each day of the festival. Alright Gaius what will your father want for them? I need at the very least nine rams. I thought for a moment well my father can always use a priest's blessing. I don't suppose you could deliver them to my domus. Certainly my friend. Titus did you every get married, I know you certainly liked the Egyptian ladies but as rex sacrorum that certainly would work to well. Well my dear friens you sound like you need a goblet of Vinum will you join us? As his ram problem was solved Titus decide to join us and we left the temple of Janus.
After visitng with Lord Eduardo Papirius, the Tetrarch of the West, Tigger, Gearde and Gaius make their way to the villae Flavius but alas his was in or wasn't having visitor presently. So onward to Forum Romanus and the temple of Janus.
Salve! My friend Titus how is it going? He turned and a smiled your a god sent Gaius he replied.
I might be several things but I don't think the gods sent me, I replied!
Well they must have with Imperator Gaius Julius Verus Maximinus Augustus decreeing that with the coming of Agonalia tomorrow, instead of the usually festival held on the 21st and 22nd. Maximinus decreed ten days for the celebration of Agonalia, to start on the 21st and to continue through the 30th of Maius.
By the gods that's ten rams, usually Agonalia is celebrated four times a year and I only need four rams but now I only have two rams and I need eight more and one at the end of the year.
Does senator Marcius have any rams? Father? Why, yes he does about twenty. All white just right for sacrifices.
Gaius your father is a nice person but his gambling is well known to all. And you want a bless from me? Well Titus he has the rams you needed! You put up deal but I'll agree to pray for the wealth and proserity of senator Marcius, how is that. Agreed! I'll have the rams here first things tomorrow morning.
So Titus why did you apply for rex sacrorum isn't it an appointment for life and disqualifies you from holding any other office? Your correct Gaius but was his reply but with this position I am not putting my ass on the line for another commanding officer with no brains like we had in Syria.
Really Titus I don't know what your complaining about I was the one captured and escaped and then injured so bad my father request I be transfered back to Hispania to live or die.
Titus reply was a flat NO! Gaius I am not married yet, You sound like my mother does.
