Imagine this.

Flaccus is veteran orator. Patrician. The true blue blood born to be a Senator. He is not rich and he is not famous, all he has is his family's good name.

And then one morning at the age of 42 when he walks to the Curia, he is not allowed to enter. Just like that. Censorial decree they say. His estates are not where Sir Censor would like them to be. Sir Censor is disappointed and has decided to show it. Sir Censor did not get his longwaited triumph, so off you go Flaccus. Oh, and did I mention that Flaccus voted "Aye" to the triumph?

Flaccus feels insulted, obviously. It takes him half a year to get back to the Senate and restore his family's honor. But things have changed. Cordatus has trampled on the name of Valerius family, Flaccus can't support the man now, of course, even a child would understand that. And so Flaccus tries to forget the whole thing. He does not run around and shout, he just ignores everything the man has to say.

But how do you think "the big powerful richest man in Rome" Cordatus feels? He feels that Flaccus is unfair towards him and wants revenge...

So imagine this. I tried but in vain. Men.
